Join us on May 1st for a special screening of Angels Are Made of Light, a documentary following school-aged children in Kabul, Afghanistan, with guest speaker and IRC client, Farahnaz Anwari, who taught in Afghan conflict zones for nearly 20 years.

The IRC recently partnered with the Seattle Mayor's Office and Human Services Department to commemorate Human Trafficking Awareness Month. The event honored local trailblazers who have made significant contributions to anti-trafficking work in the state and featured an insightful panel discussion with three survivors of human trafficking.

The purpose of this paper is to share IRC’s vision for the future of the Grand Bargain based on our experience on the ground and engagement with this forum. The paper is meant to contribute to current discussions on the ‘Grand Bargain 2.0’ as envisaged in the recent proposal by the Facilitation Group.

How the Grand Bargain can deliver on its promise to improve humanitarian aid

In observation of Ramadan, the IRC in NY hosted a beautiful Iftar in the office on Wednesday, April 12th. The staff gathered to transform the office into an elegant dining space, setting up tables with dates and water, for clients and friends in attendance. The staff teamed up to host, decorate, and prepare the food for the Iftar. Ahmed, our Senior Finance Manager led the Adhan (call to prayer), after which friends and family prayed the sunset prayer and of course, ate!
