Who suffers most?

How do we do that?

Give Now – BMS sends money to trusted local partners from a special reserve so that we can act instantly

Why is that best?

• they know what is most needed
• they can adapt to a changing situation
• all the money sent is used only to help those in need

What can I do?

Why only money?

• it’s fast and efficient to send
