The Special-Needs-Fund helps people in impoverished countries who suddenly find themselves in crisis situations like medical emergencies, house fires, and other unexpected needs. Often, poverty-stricken people cannot save for such emergencies and are destitute when they occur. Some are forced to beg.

The Special-Needs-Fund helps people who suffer from critical needs. This program is a favorite of our field staff. It enables them to respond to some of the most pressing needs they encounter. The cost varies for each case, but an average of $250 supports one person in crisis.
