The International Rescue Committee (IRC)’s mission is to help people affected by humanitarian crises – including the climate crisis – to survive, recover and rebuild their lives.
We are dedicated to supporting people across the arc of crisis – from conflict to refuge to resettlement. We deliver lasting impact by providing health care, helping children learn, and empowering individuals and communities to become self-reliant, always with a focus on the unique needs of women and girls. Founded in 1933 at the call of Albert Einstein, we now work in over 40 countries across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, the Americas, and Europe, including the UK.
