 Trust HELP uses a simple system of ensuring that the appropriate relief articles reach the appropriate people.  It circulates to NGOs and other relief organisations a simple questionnaire that can help them to respond stating the exact type of relief articles required and the quantities required.  This form also provides space for an assessment of the rehabilitation efforts required in the affected places.
