About the IRC

For 80 years, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) has responded to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helped people to survive and rebuild their lives. Today, the IRC works tirelessly to support people forced to flee their homes due to conflict or natural disaster. The charity delivers emergency aid, provides vital health care, protects children, and supports women and girls who have suffered rape and physical abuse. The IRC works with refugees from over 40 countries including Syria, Burma, Liberia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia, and Sudan.
