Capacity Development and Volunteer Engagement in Disaster Response

Reliance Foundation engages individuals in communities and Reliance employees across the country in disaster response efforts.

Over a thousand employee volunteers across the Reliance ecosystem help during disaster response, provision of aid, rehabilitation, and risk reduction activities.

Given that community readiness is key to effective disaster management and response, Reliance Foundation follows a Community-Based Disaster Risk Management approach to ensure community participation, empowering local people to understand the challenges and risks.

To enhance capacity in communities, Reliance Foundation conducts training programmes in regional languages, with a focus on preparing youth in communities and partnering with them to instil the capacity to manage disasters. Around 1900 youth volunteers have been trained so far.
