Our frontline partners are the first and often only responders for people in war-devastated areas, but they are being let down by a broken aid system.

One that fails to recognise their expertise in their own country, that takes a one-size fits all approach to aid delivery - rather than listening to what is really needed in the context at the time, one that fails to deliver the resources they really need to save more lives. 
 
Local, on-the-ground medics, groups, networks and organisations deliver 75% of the humanitarian aid work in places like Syria, yet they receive less than 1% of the available funds. CanDo exists to connect the healtcare workers who are on the ground, saving lives, and the millions of us around the world who want to help them but don’t know the most efficient and effective way to do so.
 

Our partners deliver impactful, locally-led, needs-based and cost effective life-saving health interventions, efficiently and quickly. These local humanitarian organisations are the people who can and do help in war-devastated area to deliver essential life-saving interventions: medical, nutrition, clean water, sanitation, hygiene, mental health and psychological support and protection campaigns.
