- About the IRC
International Rescue Committee Hellas (gr)
Η International Rescue Committee - IRC Hellas ξεκίνησε τη λειτουργία της στην Ελλάδα το 2015, στο νησί της Λέσβου, ως απάντηση στον άνευ προηγουμένου αριθμό προσφύγων που κατέφθαναν τότε στο νησί.
Από την αρχή της δραστηριοποίησής της στην Ελλάδα, η IRC Hellas παρέχει υπηρεσίες υποστήριξης και προστασίας του προσφυγικού πληθυσμού τόσο σε κέντρα φιλοξενίας, όσο και στον αστικό ιστό. Άμεσα ή σε συνεργασία με άλλους φορείς της Κοινωνίας των Πολιτών, παρέχουμε στέγαση, είδη πρώτης ανάγκης, ασφαλή μεταφορά, πρόσβαση σε νερό, εγκαταστάσεις υγιεινής και καθαριότητας, αξιόπιστες και ενημερωμένες πληροφορίες, προστασία για ευάλωτες ομάδες του πληθυσμού, ψυχική και ψυχοκοινωνική υποστήριξη, καθώς και υπηρεσίες απασχολησιμότητας σε πρόσφυγες και αιτούντες άσυλο και άλλες ευάλωτες ομάδες στην Ελλάδα.
