How We Help
- A global leader in humanitarian assistance, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) works in more than 40 countries offering help and hope to refugees and others impacted by violent conflict and disaster.
- During crises, IRC teams provide health care, shelter, clean water, sanitation, learning programs for children and special aid for women.
- As emergencies subside, the IRC stays to revive livelihoods and help shattered communities recover and rebuild.
- Every year, the IRC also helps resettle thousands of refugees given sanctuary in the United States, in 22 cities across the country.
Actress and IRC Voice Rashida Jones in Oprah Magazine: "After visiting a refugee camp in Thailand that the IRC provides assistance to, I was touched by the human ability to adapt when given the right tools."
