The International Rescue Committee, Inc. (IRC) is a global humanitarian organization that responds to the world’s worst crises. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees and displaced people. With a presence in over 40 countries and 26 U.S. cities, the IRC provides vital support to those affected by conflict and disaster.
Our mission is to help people survive, recover, and rebuild their lives. We focus on providing health care, education, and economic opportunities to empower individuals and communities. The IRC also advocates for policies that protect the rights of refugees and displaced persons.
- Health Services: We provide essential medical care, mental health support, and nutrition services to vulnerable populations.
- Education: The IRC works to ensure that children have access to quality education, even in the most challenging environments.
- Economic Development: We help individuals gain skills and find jobs, fostering self-sufficiency and resilience.
Through our innovative programs, we aim to restore dignity and hope to those in need. The IRC collaborates with local partners and communities to create sustainable solutions that address the root causes of displacement.
