Humanitarian aid is material or logistical assistance provided for humanitarian purposes, typically in response to humanitarian crises including natural disaster and man-made disaster. The primary objective of humanitarian aid is to save lives the most lethal year in the history of humanitarianism was 2008, in which 122 aid workers were murdered and 260 assaulted.

Eg; JAPAN HAITI TSUNAMI Pakistan World Trade Centre FINANCIAL AID: Grants Grants are mainly used to help recipient countries to build hospitals, schools and low-cost houses, and support well-digging or water-supply projects, and other medium and small projects for social welfare. In addition, grants are used in projects in the fields of human resources development cooperation, technical cooperation, assistance in kind and emergency humanitarian aid. Interest-free Loans Interest-free loans are mainly used to help recipient countries to construct public facilities and launch projects to improve people’s livelihood.
The tenure of such loans is usually 20 years, including five years of use, five years of grace and ten years of repayment. Currently, interest-free loans are mainly provided to developing countries with relatively good economic conditions. Concessional Loans Concessional loans are mainly used to help recipient countries to undertake productive projects generating both economic and social benefits and large and medium-sized infrastructure projects, or to provide complete plant, mechanical and electrical products, technical services and other materials.
Concessional loans are raised by the Export-Import Bank of China on the market, and since the loan interest is lower than the benchmark interest of the People’s Bank of China, the difference is made up by the State as financial subsidies. At present, the annual interest rate of China’s concessional loans is between 2% and 3%, and the period of repayment is usually 15 to 20 years (including five to seven years of grace). By the end of 2009, China had provided concessional loans to 76 foreign countries, supporting 325 projects, of which 142 had been completed.
Of China’s concessional loans, 61% are used to help developing countries to construct transportation, communications and electricity infrastructure, and 8. 9% are used to support the development of energy and resources such as oil and minerals.

Financial pressure is the number one cause given by students forced to drop out of college.
The goal of Education Aid is to assist students with alleviating these pressures, thus enabling them to reach their goal of attaining a degree. We accomplish this by paying for the living expenses not typically covered by financial aid.
We provide the support that they need to succeed! Lack of Financial Support is the Number One Reason Students Drop Out of College * Nearly half of today’s college students do NOT receive any help to pay for school from parents or other relatives. * 1 out of 3 college students who receive no financial help from family report the cost of textbooks and other fees besides tuition, have a significant effect on them financially. * More than half of students who dropped out of college reported “needing to work” as a major reason why.
* Most students who drop out of college do so because they are working and going to school at the same time. The stress of working to support themselves while going to school is too difficult to handle. “poor people understand the power of education to transform lives – yet education receives just 2% of humanitarian aid” * education goals remain elusive in more than 70 countries November 13, 2002 – UNESCO * US prime minister pledges $8. 5b in health, education aid for poor countries * Mozambique secures world bank education aid * aid for education is our best weapon against militant Islam.
