When disaster strikes anywhere in the world, Direct Relief International leaps into action.<\/p>\n

The non-profit organization supports relief aid around the world with food, first aid, medical care, and other much-needed supplies. They depend on corporate partnerships for much of their donations, and Yardi Systems has been a consistent supporter of their efforts over the last 12 years.<\/p>\n

Currently, Direct Relief continues to support victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, and also provides ongoing care for medical patients in Peru and India. They also have numerous projects around the United States for those without access to basic medical care.<\/p>\n

The non-profit aided the disaster relief effort after the Japan earthquake in 2011 and essentially respond to any global\u00a0 or domestic crisis in which people are hurt or displaced. Major outlays of support also took place for the Asian Tsunami in 2004 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and Yardi’s support helped fund those responses.<\/p>\n

Direct Relief also ships medicine to those in the greatest need of medical attention in 72 countries and in all 50 United States. In Santa Barbara, Calif., where Yardi’s corporate headquarters and that of Direct Relief are both located, the Healthy Smiles program provides materials to improve the dental health of children and their families.<\/p>\n

“Every dollar donated to Direct Relief means at least $25 of medicine for someone in need.
