More information
The International Rescue Committee responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is a leading international relief and development organisation working with people and communities affected by conflict around the world. Working in 42 countries worldwide we save lives, relieve suffering and rebuild communities, protecting rights and creating new opportunities. When an emergency arises, the IRC arrives on the scene within 72 hours with urgently needed supplies and expertise that protect people caught in the midst of chaos. We commit to stay as long as we are needed, helping survivors to heal, recover and rebuild their communities to be stronger, more stable and more democratic. Building local capacity and self-sufficiency and promoting human rights, participation and accountability are at the core of all of our innovative programs.
