Since 1933, the IRC has provided hope and humanitarian aid to refugees and other victims of oppression and violent conflict around the world. Visit our Web site
The IRC is at work in some 25 countries, distributing life-saving aid, rebuilding devastated communities, establishing schools and training teachers, caring for war-traumatized children, rehabilitating health care systems, restoring lost livelihoods, reuniting families, strengthening the capacity of local aid groups and institutions, supporting good governance initiatives in post-conflict locations, and for refugees unable to return home and admitted to the U.S. resettlement program, helping them rebuild their lives across the United States.
Through our offices in London, Brussels, New York and Washington D.C., and every location where we provide assistance, we raise awareness about refugee issues and advocate for durable solutions to humanitarian crises.
The IRC is unique, being the only aid organization that directly implements global humanitarian assistance programs for refugees and displaced persons and helps refugees permanently resettle. IRC at a Glance fact sheet [
