Who we are

Mission

Our mission is to help save lives, reduce suffering and create sustained resilience in communities most prone to emergencies and severe natural hazards.

Vision

To become a seamless world-class community-based emergency humanitarian assistance organization that delivers durable solutions across the full spectrum of humanitarian aid: from emergency preparedness and disaster risk management to emergency response, relief, recovery, resilience, refugee resettlement and repatriation.

FOCUS Globally

Focus Humanitarian Assistance (FOCUS) is an international crisis response and disaster risk management agency dedicated to providing emergency relief to vulnerable communities in the wake of crises. Our work seeks to prepare communities most prone to disaster by implementing disaster risk reduction programming as well as resettlement and reintegration programming for populations displaced by civil instability, conflict, or climate events.

FOCUS was founded in 1994 by the Ismaili Community under the guidance of His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan and currently operates in countries in Central, West, and South Asia; Europe, and North America to provide emergency relief, principally in the developing world. The organization serves people in need by reducing their dependence on humanitarian aid and facilitating their transition to sustainable, self-reliant, and long-term development.
