Our Foundation helps communities worldwide become safer, more resilient, and better prepared for natural and man-made disasters.
The JTI Foundation has been championing disaster relief and risk-reduction programs for nearly 25 years. Over this time, we have built a network of reputable partner organizations that help victims of natural catastrophes and conflicts.
With climate change and ongoing geopolitical tensions, such events are becoming more frequent and severe, hitting vulnerable communities the hardest. Our Foundation’s work is more important than ever in these challenging times.
Helping to build safe and resilient communities
Founded in 2001, the Foundation helps communities around the world become safer, and more resilient to natural and man-made disasters.
Since its inception, it has made a positive difference in all parts of the world:
Projects with our partners
Countries of intervention
At a time of elevated turmoil in the world there can be few priorities more important than building the resilience of communities threatened and affected by disasters.
We support projects that help people affected by disasters to rebuild their livelihoods. We also invest in long-term risk-reduction programs that raise community awareness and improve basic infrastructure.
In the face of a crisis, the JTI Foundation supports our partners’ emergency aid interventions including search and rescue, immediate relief, shelter, food, water and daily necessities.
A main focus of the Foundation’s work is long-term risk-reduction. Promoting risk-awareness and strengthening critical infrastructure in vulnerable communities is key to the success of their sustainable development.
The JTI Foundation identifies, funds, implements, monitors and evaluates projects that empower communities to create a better future.
The JTI Foundation supports large-scale, long-term programs. To deliver these, we partner with some of the world’s best-known and most accomplished organizations that specialize in disaster recovery and prevention. Our partners include field specialists that ensure our support is impactful and sustainable. We back our partners’ capacity-building to enhance their response to immediate crises, and we help them build strong long-term disaster risk reduction programs.
