Humanitarian Assistance

In 1994, Counterpart International (Counterpart) started its humanitarian assistance operations in Moldova. Since then, Counterpart has shipped and distributed more than $68 million in assistance. From organizing pharmaceutical airlifts to delivering the most basic humanitarian items, Counterpart utilizes its vast in-country experience to effectively partner with local organizations and governmental ministries to assist the elderly, disabled, and orphans. Furthermore, our donations have helped to equip and supply medical institutions and clinics so that they may continue to provide primary health service to the under-served.

Community and Humanitarian Assistance Program:
CHAP is a US State Department-funded, rapid response humanitarian commodity distribution program that addresses critical needs of vulnerable populations. Food, clothing, bedding, hospital equipment, hospital supplies and pharmaceuticals are donated to the target groups.

Small Reconstruction Projects (SRPs) are short-term, small-scale renovations of facilities that serve a humanitarian purpose, such as orphanages, hospitals, and schools. Counterpart works with local partners to plan and execute projects that make concrete, measurable improvements in the lives of those affected.

 
Counterpart's CHAP and SRP programs work in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus (just CHAP), Georgia, Kyrgyz Republic, Moldova, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

Small/Medium Transportation Program:
The Small/Medium Transportation Program (SMTP), funded by the US Department of State Office of the Coordinator for the US Assistance to Europe and Eurasia, supports small to medium-sized US nonprofit organizations with transportation assistance to deliver urgently-needed humanitarian aid to vulnerable populations of the former Soviet Union republics. This program, which strives to improve the quality of life of the orphaned, ill, disabled, elderly and poor, is a true "citizen-to-citizen" program that connects organizations in the United States to communities in the NIS countries.

Counterpart's SMTP program works in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kyrgyz Republic, Moldova, Tajikistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
