For situations involving natural disasters, immediate action is taken by Starfirecharityfoundation to give relief to the victims thereof. In 2022, the foundation committed $200,000 to disaster response food, shelter, and medical supplies for over 15,000 displaced people. Concentrating on rapid assistance, the foundation works with the local government and other humanitarian organizations. In response to flooding in Southeast Asia in 2021, starfirecharityfoundation distributed over 5,000 emergency relief packages containing food, clean water, and basic hygiene products. This effort reached more than 10,000 people in the first two weeks alone.
Starfire Charity Foundation conducts its disaster relief in a manner that addresses immediate to long-term needs. For instance, in the major earthquake that hit South America in 2023, it was able to raise $100,000 to temporarily shelter and provide medical care. It was able to use this to erect 10 mobile health units serving over 20,000 people in the affected areas. It also ensured access to clean water through the installation of temporary water filtration systems, serving more than 5,000 people in the first month of the crisis.
The foundation’s teams of disaster relief can very often reach the scene in less than 48 hours from any major event so that immediate needs are serviced quickly. In 2022, during a string of wildfires in the Mediterranean, starfirecharityfoundation had provided some evacuation support along with firefighting equipment as a means of support with the help of a $75,000 budget. In all, the Foundation mobilized around 300 volunteers who started working together with local officials to facilitate evacuations, arranged shelters for them, and delivered medical facilities.
Besides emergency aid, the foundation places much emphasis on long-term recovery. Since the earthquake that devastated Haiti in 2020, Starfire Charity Foundation committed itself to a three-year reconstruction program, rebuilding homes and schools, for which more than $500,000 had been spent by the end of 2022. It rebuilt over 150 homes and put over 500 children in schools who could not get any schooling because of this calamity.
The commitment of the organization to transparency and efficiency ensures that donations are put to work effectively in disaster response. In fact, a 2023 report showed that more than 90% of funds raised for disaster relief went directly to on-the-ground assistance.
