Emergency Relief

The Nando and Elsa Peretti Foundation (NaEPF) has a long history of supporting humanitarian emergencies. Since its establishment in 2000, the NaEPF has been working with NGOs all over the world to rapidly provide aid and assistance in emergency situations, whether caused by natural disasters or armed conflicts.

Humanitarian emergencies require specific actions. These include providing food and medical assistance to affected populations, as the NaEPF did in 2010 for those affected by the floods in Pakistan; or providing relief to animals or facilitating a return to normality, as the Foundation did in 2005 by helping Sri Lankan children return to normal school activities after the dramatic tsunami that hit the region. In more complex scenarios, the interventions must be protracted.

NaEPF supported UNHCR in its programme for the protection and assistance of Syrian refugees (2013-2016) and promoted a Humanitarian Response Plan in South Sudan, at the outbreak of the famine and in the following years (2017-2020), in partnership with eight major international organisations. Even after Elsa Peretti’s passing, NaEPF has always prioritised emergency responses: from 2022 to the present, the foundation has funded ten emergency relief interventions for the sum of EUR 1.200.000.
