Many readers of Evangelicals Now will know of Samaritans Purse through its annual Operation Christmas Child shoebox appeal, which has delivered boxes to more than 208m children in over 160 countries since 1993. But Samaritans Purse has also responded to more than 100 disasters around the world since 2009. Working through local churches and ministry partners the international charity, which has Franklin Graham as its President, is highly experienced in humanitarian recovery work, including food distribution, water, sanitation and hygiene, shelter and medical services.
