How to Support MapAction's Work
MapAction has a straightforward goal: to make sure that vital aid reaches the right people, quickly, after shattering disasters.
To deliver emergency medical care, shelter, clean water, food aid and other help, relief agencies need to know where are the people in need, and where are other aid organisations already working. Accurate maps are also essential to guide the way through a landscape which may itself have been changed by the disaster.
Since 2004 MapAction has worked in the world's most horrific disasters including the Asian tsunami and the Kashmir earthquake. We have played a vital role in saving lives and helping to bring hope quickly to shattered communities. Please help us to maintain this unique and vital service.
How can you help?
As a volunteer-based charity we deliver a big impact for a low cost. But we need funds to equip, train and deploy our volunteers (who donate their time free of charge) when disaster strikes.
Give online using the Charities Aid Foundation secure donation facility. Using the Gift Aid scheme the taxman will then add 20% to your donation if you are a UK taxpayer! You can also give in Euros, US dollars and several other currencies.
Or, please contact our Chief Executive David Spackman via our Contact Us page for more information or to send a donation by whichever means you prefer.
We are very grateful to the individuals and organisations who already support our work.
Thinking about volunteering?
We receive many enquiries every month from people who want to help in a practical way with our work. At present our operational volunteer team is at full capacity and we don't expect to be able to recruit additional volunteers this year. To be considered for training as a volunteer when we are next able to offer volunteer opportunities, you will need to be a GIS professional with hands-on skills in ArcGIS 9 and to persuade us that you have a lot more about you besides. If you would like to register your interest as a possible future volunteer, please Contact Us.
