With You in the First Hour

Where our local teams already work, the full relief package reaches a family within 72 hours. Blocked roads or rough weather can slow things down, but the first essentials are on their way as soon as a crisis is confirmed.

In the opening hours of a disaster a family has nothing left to fall back on. A warm meal, dry blankets and clean water in that narrow window keep people safe through the first night and ease the hard days that follow.

It pays for what a family needs straight away: hot food, clean water, blankets, baby and hygiene items, basic medicine and a temporary shelter. Every pound goes towards the parcel itself.

Earthquakes, floods, storms and the fallout of conflict, anywhere our teams can safely reach. Turkey's earthquake-hit south is firmly included, alongside crisis zones across Africa, the Middle East and Asia. A handful of sanctioned countries sit outside that, where we cannot lawfully work.

At each handover the field team takes a photo and logs the GPS location, then files both in one delivery record. You can see exactly where and when the parcel changed hands.

Local teams who already live and work in the area. They know the streets, speak the language and run the local distribution points, so the family opens the door to a familiar face.

It does. A few pounds can mean a dry place to sleep for a child tonight, or a fever brought down before morning. No amount is too small to matter when a family is starting again from nothing.

No gift is tied to one named person. It joins a shared rapid-response fund, and the field teams decide who receives a parcel by working out which households are in the gravest need at that moment.

Either works. A one-off gift answers a crisis happening right now. A monthly gift means a team is already funded and ready when the next emergency hits, rather than pausing to wait for donations to arrive first.

Of course. You can give in honour of a friend, or in memory of someone you have lost. Add the name at checkout and we will note it on your receipt and confirmation email.

Yes. Every delivery is written into the Quenara Ledger, a public record anyone can audit. It traces the path from the gift you made through to the relief it paid for, with nothing tucked away out of sight.

Payments run through Stripe, the same processor trusted by major companies worldwide. Your card details never touch Quenara's own servers, and your personal information is never sold or passed to anyone else.

You can. Quenara is a registered 501(c)(3) foundation in Delaware, so gifts are tax-deductible in the United States. We email a receipt showing our EIN that you can file with your return.
