Asset Recovery and Protection

In emergencies, Save the Children provides resources and support for early livelihoods recovery. Our programs enable households to meet immediate survival needs and recover assets. We also supply:

  • Access to provisions, such as cash or food
  • Community-based disaster risk-reduction strategies
  • Access to safe savings systems and affordable insurance products

In Tajikistan, we furnish safety nets for vulnerable households, as well as distribute cash, seeds and local foods to assist these households in meeting their sustenance requirements during recurring periods of food insecurity.

In Mali, we have developed emergency preparedness and response systems to reduce exposure to economic shocks. We also help small scale farmers increase access to credit and weather insurance, which reduce risk and increase farm production so families can feed their children while protecting other household assets.

In Haiti, following the destructive hurricane of 2008 and earthquake of 2010, Save the Children aimed to restore livelihood activities by introducing food-for-work programs to rehabilitate irrigation channels and install soil conservation structures. We also increased the availability of food through distribution of seeds, agricultural materials and cash infusions.
