In 2006, ActionAid started the Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) through schools project.
We have been working with people in seven different countries which have been affected by disasters such as floods or cyclones.
These countries are: Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi and Haiti.
As the world heats up scientists predict more extreme weather like floods or droughts. In many countries where ActionAid works people say changes in the weather are already affecting their lives.
Our DRR project aims to help over three million people.
The project uses schools as a base to educate children and the wider community about the risks of disasters and how to protect themselves.
