Recurrent drought across the Horn of Africa is displacing families and drying up the wells they depend on. HARO delivers emergency food and water now, and builds the water systems that outlast the crisis.
Featured programWhen clean water is out of reach, every day becomes harder. HARO responds with emergency water when communities need it most while investing in wells and water systems built to serve them for years to come.
Give today to help bring clean water within reach and build a more reliable source for tomorrow.

Humanitarian African Relief Organization (HARO) is a non-profit, international relief and development organization located in the United States. Our purpose is to provide urgent humanitarian relief and long-term solutions to systemic issues throughout the Horn of Africa.
Together with our partners, we work hand-in-hand with the diaspora, our sustainers and a network of international partners to provide life-saving care to those most in need.
Recurring gifts let us commit to wells, salaries and school fees months in advance — instead of waiting for the next emergency to raise funds.
