TRANSFORM

We train and equip sustainable leaders in emergency management to strengthen disaster preparedness and build resilient communities. It’s not a matter of if disaster strikes—but when. Prepared, we can respond and help.

In times of crisis, we bring hope, peace, and love-meeting physical, emotional, social and mental needs. Whether it's a cup of water, a repaired roof, or a listening ear, every act of care matters.

Compelled by compassion, we uncover God-given strengths and walk alongside others to create lasting impact—beyond disaster relief to economic stability and spiritual growth.

"Love responds out of the overflow of compassion giving people hope."

- Angel Poorman, United Rescue Alliance Founder
