CORE isn’t just about relief. It’s about sustainability. It mobilizes disaster-stricken and underserved communities to rebuild from within and fortify for the future, generating sustainable solutions and building systems to better prepare vulnerable populations for crisis and prevent devastation. Originally founded in 2010 by Sean Penn as J/P Haitian Relief Organization (J/P HRO) to provide long-term support for the people of Haiti and their communities following the devastating 2010 earthquake, CORE unifies local and national government leaders, community-based organizations, other international NGOs, UN agencies, and donors with community members for holistic relief efforts. There’s only one way to fight a crisis. Together. As a community.
