The International Rescue Committee has worked in Pakistan since 1980 and most recently has focused on emergency relief and recovery from the worst floods in the country's history. The IRC is rebuilding homes, schools, roads and other infrastructure to help Pakistanis get back to normal life. In addition, the IRC is providing health care and sanitation facilities and giving Pakistanis the tools to engage in their own recovery.
