Practices of Jehovah's Witnesses - Disaster relief
Disaster relief to those within the organization is an important aspect of organizational activities. The organization of such relief is taken care of by the president of the governing body in collaboration with a committee headed by him. (James 2:15-17) One of the Society's branch offices may be asked to take care of the need. The prime focus is on helping fellow believers, although others also receive assistance to some degree. Assistance often consists of both material and spiritual forms.
Samples of relief work include the French Branch Office of Jehovah's Witnesses which operates a non-governmental organization known as AidAfrique providing material help to Witnesses experiencing disasters in Africa. During the war in the former Yugoslavia, Witnesses from Austria and Germany provided material assistance to fellow believers in Sarajevo. Until not long ago, the Swedish branch specifically provided assistance to Congo-Kinshasa. Witness literature occasionally publishes reports covering relief work, and the Society also will issue press releases as well.
