Capacity Development and Volunteers engagement in Disaster Response

Reliance Foundation works with community volunteers as well as employee volunteers across the country to produce a multiplier effect.

Over a thousand employee volunteers across the Reliance ecosystem help during disaster response, provision of aid, rehabilitation, and risk reduction activities.

Along with this, it is well understood that community readiness is key to effective disaster management and response.

Reliance Foundation follows a Community-Based Disaster Risk Management approach to ensure community participation, empowering local people to understand the challenges and risks. As part of ensuring rapid response, Reliance Foundation has conducted capacity-building programmes in regional languages across community groups, training community partners to help manage disasters effectively. Around 1900 youth volunteers have been trained so far.
