Message from the Founder

Welcome to the S.A.R.A.I.D. website. I hope you find our site both interesting and informative. Unfortunately disasters such as Earthquakes, Floods and Landslides kill and injure thousands of people each year and leave many more homeless and destitute.


S.A.R.A.I.D is a British charity dedicated to trying to save the lives of innocent victims of disaster as well as relieving human suffering around the world regardless of colour, creed, religion and political persuasion. Staffed entirely by volunteers and funded solely by public donations, S.A.R.A.I.D is on call 365 days a year, always ready to provide trained Search and Rescue personnel, free of charge to any country in need of assistance. 


When disaster strikes, time is of the essence. It is therefore essential that the S.A.R.A.I.D. team is well trained, well equipped and able to deploy quickly to the site of any disaster around the world. By limiting the size of the Rescue team, S.A.R.A.I.D. can move swiftly to the scene of the disaster and provide a comprehensive and effective service to those in need. S.A.R.A.I.D. numbers can then be bolstered by utilising local resources, knowledge and man power to maximise our effectiveness on scene.


For more information about S.A.R.A.I.D. please continue to tour our website. Why don't you add us to your list of favourites or better still join the growing numbers of Friends of S.A.R.A.I.D. and receive regular updates about the activities of the team, whilst also helping S.A.R.A.I.D. to save lives and relieve human suffering around the world.

Thank you for your kindness

Founder of S.A.R.A.I.D.
