Through the generous support of AJC’s Heilbrunn Humanitarian Relief Fund, the AJC Asia Pacific Institute (API) has been able to provide financial assistance to relief organizations throughout the Asia-Pacific region in response to humanitarian crises.
In recent years, we have frequently supported IsraAID, an Israel-based organization that provides urgently needed assistance to victims of natural disasters in places such as China, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Japan, Myanmar, Nepal, Palau, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Vanuatu.
API has also supported United Hatzalah, a volunteer-based emergency medical services organization based in Jerusalem, in providing training programs on emergency preparedness and trauma response in India and Sri Lanka; and Skala, an Indonesian NGO, in its effort to provide humanitarian aid following a 5.6 magnitude earthquake.
