FOCUS provides emergency relief to communities suffering from natural disasters or man-made crises.

In May, Focus Humanitarian Assistance celebrated its 15th anniversary with An Evening with Focus, held at the Ismaili Centre, London. The event created awareness of the integral role that FOCUS and its volunteers play in communities around the world.

An affiliate of the Aga Khan Development Network, FOCUS aims to foster disaster-resilience in communities that are particularly vulnerable to natural and man-made disaster. It also extends humanitarian relief and recovery in the wake of disasters.

Approximately 250 people attended the event, and 180 people, from 18 different countries, watched it live over the internet. The evening included four presentations, each portraying a unique aspect of FOCUS’ work.
