IRC (International Rescue Committee)
About Company
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is a humanitarian organization that operates in over 50 countries worldwide and in 28 cities across the United States. Its primary mission is to assist people affected by humanitarian crises in their efforts to survive, recover, and rebuild their lives.
The IRC responds to some of the most severe humanitarian emergencies around the globe, including ongoing conflicts such as the one in Ukraine and crises like the one in Afghanistan. Their work encompasses a range of areas, including:
Health: Providing healthcare services to those in need, including medical treatment and access to essential medicines.
Safety: Ensuring the safety of individuals and communities affected by crises, which can involve providing shelter, protection, and support for displaced populations.
Education: Supporting education initiatives for children and adults, ensuring that access to quality education is available even in crisis-affected areas.
Economic Wellbeing: Assisting people in rebuilding their livelihoods and economic stability, often through skills training, job placement, and economic development programs.
Empowerment: Empowering communities and individuals to have a say in their own recovery and future, giving them the tools and resources to rebuild their lives with dignity.
The IRC is also dedicated to promoting gender equality and fighting for a world where women and girls have the same opportunities for success as men and boys. They work with a diverse range of partners and ambassadors, including notable figures like Rami Malek, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Morena Baccarin, Sepideh Moafi, and Ebony Obsidian, to raise awareness about their mission and engage support for their programs.
