2005
Total
Appeal Target : US$ 750,000 Balance Requested
from ACT Network: 738,743.09
During 2004, the
ACT Rapid Response Fund assisted 26 ACT implementing members to save
lives in sudden emergencies, providing financial assistance ranging
from US$4,000 to US$50,000. The purpose of the
ACT Rapid Response Fund is to provide resources up to USD 50,000 to
meet urgent requests by local churches and other members to save lives
in sudden emergencies resulting from natural disasters or from human
made disasters. RRF is also utilised to advance resources needed to
save lives in situations where an appeal has been issued but funds have
not yet been forthcoming. The ACT RRF is administered by the ACT Coordinating
Office in Geneva according to the general ACT policy framework and operational
guidelines. This year we are
seeking your contributions to build the fund up to US$750,000. On December
31, 2004 the balance for the ACT RRF was only US$ 11,256.91. Therefore, we
are kindly urging you to contribute to this appeal to enable us to continue
assisting ACT members to save lives. Following is the application
