About ACT Foundation: 

 

The ACT Foundation is a registered foundation in Thailand. It works on issues pertaining to Humanitarian Emergencies, Disaster Risk Reduction, Climate Change, and Sustainable Development

 

The focus of the foundation is to help Thailand and its people through supporting organizations with skills in dealing effectively with Humanitarian emergencies such as floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and Tsunamis. We bring expertise in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) which will help civil society organizations in Thailand to integrate  DRR into their planning, so as to reduce the impact of natural disasters.  In times of large scale emergencies, we will support food, shelter, and education programs. The ACT Foundation works closely with and is allied to the ACT Alliance.

 

ACT Alliance is a coalition of more than 155 churches and affiliated organizations working together in over 140 countries to create positive and sustainable change in the lives of poor and marginalized people regardless of their religion, politics, gender, sexual orientation, race or nationality. ACT Alliance is supported by 25,000 staff from member organizations and mobilizes about $3 billion for its work each year in three targeted areas: humanitarian aid; development; and advocacy. ACT Alliance is deeply rooted in the communities it serves. It has earned the trust and respect of local people long before large international interventions scale up, and remains steadfast in its grassroots commitments for many years after world attention has shifted elsewhere.
