Students from Baylor University and Texas A&M University visit the IRC in Dallas to learn more about how they can support resettled refugees.

The IRC is ensuring that everyone counts for the upcoming 2020 Census, despite new difficulties due to COVID-19.

The IRC in Sacramento’s New Roots program has had a busy 12 months since last spring.

For the past five years, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and the IKEA Foundation have been solving this challenge through the Re:BUiLD (Refugees in East Africa: Boosting Urban Innovations for Livelihoods Development) program. In partnership with the IKEA Foundation, Re:BUiLD brings together the International Rescue Committee (IRC), the Center for Global Development (CGD), Open Capital (OCA), Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) and Nairobi City County Government (NCCG). Re:BUiLD is committed to generate and share evidence for innovative, sustainable livelihood solutions that can be adopted to support refugees and host residents in other cities in East Africa and beyond.

One of the easiest and most impactful ways to welcome refugees to your community is to pull together your networks and social groups through a fundraiser. Now more than ever, individual private support is crucial to the work we do in resettling refugee families and our work with the immigrant community. Raising funds through group efforts with your friends and family is a great help as we head into uncertain times.
