How can communities build resilience to flooding in northeast Nigeria? With support from Google.org, the IRC has worked together with the International Food Policy Research Institute to pilot the use of early warning systems and anticipatory cash for communities in Adamawa state, Nigeria, who are impacted by increased risks of severe flooding.

One in four people in Lebanon is a Syrian refugee. The IRC is providing employment support to help Syrians build a future far from their war-torn home and to assist struggling locals.

New parents Hussaini and Ibrahim* have welcomed their first son, Bello, to their family with help from IRC midwife Murna. Born in Gwoza, northeast Nigeria, baby Bello is starting life in a community that has been deeply affected by the ongoing conflict. With support from the European Union, the IRC provides families with access to reproductive health clinics where IRC midwives assist mothers through pregnancy, birth and beyond.
