ReliefAid is a New Zealand-founded humanitarian organisation delivering life-saving assistance into some of the world’s most dangerous conflict zones.

Across all the countries where we work, our local teams are on the ground every day, getting emergency aid directly to families who need it most - because we know aid cannot wait.

Right now, we are operating in Gaza, Ukraine, Syria and Afghanistan, providing life-saving supplies such as water, medicine, home repair materials, safe cooking stoves and food, and delivering education materials and programmes to children whose lives have been uprooted by war.

Alongside our humanitarian work, we raise our voice for the men, women and children whose own voices are so often silenced by conflict.

ReliefAid needs your help - we cannot do this alone.

Donate today to support families facing immediate and urgent need.

We also welcome Payroll Giving through Givealittle. Regular support helps us plan ahead and deliver lasting impact.

Since our founding in 2014, ReliefAid has delivered aid to more than 1.5 million people.

Ahead of International Women’s Day - thank you for your support! 6 March 2026

Ahead of International Women’s Day (8 March), we’re recognising the women living and working on the invisible frontlines of conflict.

Women like Kseniya in Ukraine and Heba in Syria, who work with us to support families living through conflict.

Women like those we deliver aid to - mothers and community leaders whose voices are too often silenced by crisis.

Today, 1 in 6 women live 50kms from active conflict, and women and girls face disproportionate risks during war, including increased violence, displacement and loss of access to healthcare and education.

This year’s IWD theme is #GiveToGain - encouraging support, resources and solidarity so women everywhere can gain safety and opportunity.

At ReliefAid, this means delivering life-saving aid to women and families facing the realities of war.

As the world feels increasingly shaped by conflict, we also see extraordinary courage - women continuing to lead, support their communities and help others survive.

Our work continues:

• Gaza: delivering clean drinking water to displaced families.

• Ukraine: providing home-repair materials so frontline families can weatherproof damaged homes during the coldest winter in 15 years.

• Syria: distributing safe cooking stoves through Fire for Life.

• Afghanistan: supporting education through Wings2Learn, supplying heating fuel and learning materials to schools.

This IWD, we want to thank you! Your support helps us #GiveToGain - relief and dignity for women living through war.
