Here’s the kind of impact you can make:
Our teams go where we’re needed most, regardless of public attention, and we get there as fast as we can. The IRC aims to respond to emergencies within 72 hours and when you make a recurring gift, you help to ensure we are prepared and positioned to rapidly respond with health care, clean water, emergency supplies and other vital aid.
We don’t just help families at the onset of a crisis, we stay as long as we’re needed so they can recover and regain control over their futures. We provide education, job training, small business support, resettlement assistance, women’s empowerment programmes and so much more.
Helping people survive and rebuild their lives is how we’ve operated for decades. In 1933, the IRC was founded at the call of Albert Einstein. He and a small group of humanitarians helped families escape Nazi-occupied France, ultimately saving and rebuilding thousands of lives during World War II. Their courage and ingenuity inspires our work to this day.
When you become a sustainer, you provide vital assistance every month of the year, giving people caught in humanitarian crises the steady, sustaining support they can count on.
How this works is instead of having to plug in your credit card information every time you want to give, enter it once with the amount you’d like to donate as a recurring gift and we’ll ensure your gifts are processed each month and put to immediate use where they are needed most.
Donating on a recurring basis is quick and easy for our supporters, beneficial for us, and life-changing for the people we serve.
Hear from an IRC team member and a mother in Yemen about the IRC’s life-changing services, made possible by our dedicated supporters.
What makes me proud about my job is that I am serving my people, the people of Afghanistan. Especially the women who are not able to go far away to access healthcare facilities.... We at the IRC made a team to go to their community, to their village, house to house and serve these people.

When I delivered my child at home, the IRC came to rescue me inside the home and helped me, so I called my daughter Enqath [meaning “rescue” in Arabic] .... I delivered my child normally because the IRC helped me.
