We provide humanitarian relief funding in response to natural and other emergencies and disasters, especially where other resources to respond are limited, through two organizations.

Doctors Without Borders
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontiéres (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971.  Today, MSF provides aid in more than 60 countries to people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe, primarily due to armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, exclusion from health care, or natural disasters.  MSF provides independent, impartial assistance to those most in need.  MSF reserves the right to speak out to bring attention to neglected crises, to challenge inadequacies or abuse of the aid system, and to advocate for improved medical treatments and protocols.  In 1999, MSF was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of its work.

Hau`oli Mau Loa Foundation currently supports MSF's Emergency Relief Fund.  Through this fund, MSF is able to launch emergency interventions with rapid speed so they can deliver lifesaving medical humanitarian aid during neglected emergencies around the world.  The Emergency Relief Fund supports medical relief programs regardless of the political or media attention they garner.

Save the Children
Save the Children is an independent organization creating lasting change for children in need in the United States and around the world. For more than 75 years, Save the Children has been helping children survive and thrive by improving their health, education, and economic opportunities, and in times of acute crisis, mobilizing rapid assistance to help children recover from the effects of war, conflict and natural disasters. Its vision is a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation.  

Save the Children works in more than 50 countries and serves more than 48 million children. It is a member of the International Save the Children Alliance working in 120 countries worldwide.

Save the Children’s principal humanitarian relief focuses on the rapid delivery of live-saving food, water, shelter and health care; protection for children; and their physical and emotional recovery over the long term. It also responds to U.S. emergencies that impact significant numbers of children.
