Increasing impact through collaborative partnerships

Medair partners with businesses, schools, churches, foundations, and government agencies to scale humanitarian impact. Partnerships can take the form of project sponsorship, employee engagement programmes, cause-related marketing, foundation grants, or multi-year strategic alliances. Contact Medair to discuss the partnership model that best fits your goals.

Medair is currently responding to humanitarian needs in 13 countries worldwide and has responded in 45 countries since 1989.

This approach builds local capacity, ensures cultural relevance, and leads to more sustainable outcomes.
