Go with us inside three countries where courageous families and dedicated IRC health workers work together every day to combat acute malnutrition.

Now more than ever, refugees need our support. When crisis and disaster erupts, families are often torn apart, parents and their children separated, homes abandoned, livelihoods left behind and futures lost. 

The focus on innovation is not new for the IRC. The organisation has improvised, taken risks, and found ingenious ways to help our clients since our founding in the 1930s. Innovation is embedded in the IRC’s work, in real time and in response to scarcity and extreme difficulties. The IRC was one of the first agencies to test and then adopt parenting programmes in crisis-affected areas.  During the Ebola crisis in Liberia, the IRC was the first organisation to bring in an anthropologist to create a community-based monitoring system responsive to local customs.  We were also one of the pioneers of Community Care Management health programs, and have now scaled the approach in South Sudan to reach hundreds of thousands of children.  These are just a few of the incredible innovations the IRC has already pioneered in the sector.

Cash relief can be a part of the answer to future challenges when the traditional approach to aid is no longer effective.

So, you’ve decided you’d like to raise money for a good cause but you’re not quite sure exactly what you’d like to do. Or maybe you’re looking for ideas that are simple to do and don’t require a lot of time or planning? You’re in the right place.
