Who we are

The Church Agencies Network Disaster Operations (CAN DO) is a consortium of nine Australian aid agencies formed to better coordinate and strengthen their global humanitarian disaster response, risk reduction and resilience building work.

 

  • •  We build strong partnerships to increase our impact

  • •  We focus on the most vulnerable and at-risk communities

  • •  We respond to all, regardless of creed or culture

  • •  We ensure all voices are amplified and heard

FIRST RESPONDERS

CAN DO church partners are often the first responders to disasters because they are already in communities.

REACH

The combined network of nine churches is extensive. The power of the church lies in its reach and relationships as part of communities.

DEPTH

Churches are influential messengers across society, quickly and powerfully advocating to communities, and addressing misinformation.

LOCAL

Responses are locally-led, culturally sensitive and built on experience.
