humanitarian aid

Humanitarian aid in the event of a disaster requires rapid and coordinated action. Aid organizations often have very limited time to organize and deploy relief supplies to affected areas. In its more than 50 years of existence, BEGECA has accumulated a wealth of experience in humanitarian emergencies, be it during the Ebola outbreak in West Africa (2014-2016), in situations such as the earthquake in Haiti in 2010, during the COVID-19 pandemic or more recently in the terrible humanitarian situation resulting from the war in Ukraine. 

BEGECA provides comprehensive support to aid organizations by assisting in the local and regional procurement of aid supplies to areas affected by earthquakes, epidemies, natural disasters, mass displacement or wars. We evaluate the availability, quality, and prices of goods and conduct tenders to ensure the best possible outcomes. To streamline the distribution process to those in need, we organize the delivery of rations (so-called food baskets) or sets (e.g. kitchen sets, hygiene sets).

BEGECA's services encompass consultancy, procurement, and logistics for a wide range of humanitarian aid goods, including but not limited to:

- Blankets and sleeping bags: Essential for providing warmth and protection in emergency shelters.
- Medical kits: Comprehensive kits containing necessary medical supplies to treat injuries and prevent the spread of diseases.
- Tents: Durable and weather-resistant tents to provide temporary shelter for displaced individuals.
- Water filters: Vital for ensuring access to clean and safe drinking water in areas where water sources may be contaminated.
- Hygiene kits: Including items such as soap, toothpaste, and sanitary products to maintain hygiene and prevent disease outbreaks.
- Kitchen sets: Containing essential cooking utensils to enable affected families to prepare meals.
- Clothing: Providing appropriate clothing for various weather conditions to those who have lost their possessions.
- Food supplies: Non-perishable and nutritious food items to sustain individuals and families during the initial stages of a disaster.

We understand that the availability of relief supplies can be limited, and timely preparation is crucial. Therefore, we urge you to contact us as early as possible about planned relief measures. Early coordination allows us to better meet your needs and ensure that aid reaches those in need swiftly and efficiently.

By partnering with BEGECA, aid organizations both local and international can benefit from its extensive experience and network, ensuring that relief efforts are effective, timely, and meet the highest standards of quality and reliability. BEGECA's goal is to support different humanitarian actors providing life-saving aid to those affected by disasters, helping to alleviate their suffering and begin the recovery process.
