We are a crisis response organization that brings immediate aid and recovery to underserved communities across the globe.
When a crisis strikes, we respond immediately to fill gaps, mobilize resources, and establish trust and collaboration from within communities to empower them to break perennial cycles of poverty and vulnerability. CORE focuses on equity by bringing relief directly to those who need it most.
Our efforts are driven by a focus on equity, locally hired staff, and an investment that starts from within the community and adapts to its dynamic needs.
OUR MISSION
CORE saves lives and strengthens communities impacted by or vulnerable to crisis.

OUR VISION
CORE faces the realities of disaster fearlessly, working on the ground to not only rebuild communities in the face of emergency, but to also create programs that focus on preparedness and resilience.
EMERGENCY RELIEF
We act both quickly and strategically in the face of crisis, in order to address the immediate damage on the ground, doing whatever it takes to save lives and stabilize the local community.
DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
Crisis mitigation means understanding the vulnerabilities that exist before emergency efforts are needed. We build systems that equip at-risk communities with the ability to fight back when faced with disaster.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESILIENCE
From hurricanes to wildfires, it’s impossible to ignore climate change’s role in causing natural disasters. We are committed to a future where our environment is no longer at the root of the crisis, but rather a system of support.
COMMUNITY BUILDING
We support one of the largest municipalities in Port au Prince through education, vocational training, community health, programs targeting women, and a dynamic community space.
