This ensures that the support offered responds to real needs and is delivered efficiently and in a professional manner. This is why it is worth supporting experienced organisations such as PAH.
Aid organisations, including Polish Humanitarian Action, prefer to provide them with financial donations (rather than, for example, in-kind assistance) for several key reasons:
- Above all, it allows activities to be adapted to changing needs and conditions in the local area.
- Financial support eliminates the logistical moves involved in transporting and distributing in-kind aid
- Funding allows assistance to be better tailored to the individual needs of recipients, focusing on the most relevant aspects of a given situation.
- Financial support eliminates logistical challenges related to the transportation and distribution of material aid.
- Financial resources allow aid to be better tailored of aid to the individual needs of recipients, focusing on the most crucial aspects of the given situation.
An example of effective action based on financial donations is PAH’s response to the earthquake in Nepal in 2015. Instead of distributing pre-made material aid, the organization emphasized the provision of financial resources, resulting in a prompt response and directing aid to the areas that required it most.
