International Rescue Committee

The International Rescue Committee helps people affected by humanitarian crises—including the climate crisis—to survive, recover and rebuild their lives, working in over 40 crisis-affected countries as well as communities throughout Europe and the Americas.

They deliver lasting impact by providing health care, helping children learn, and empowering individuals and communities to become self-reliant, always seeking to address the inequalities facing women and girls.
