Helping people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their future.
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) was founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein to offer aid to those suffering from the political turmoil in Europe. Today, the IRC is a global humanitarian organization that responds to the world’s worst crises, helping people to survive, recover, and rebuild their lives. With operations in over 40 countries, the IRC provides emergency aid, protects vulnerable populations, and supports communities in rebuilding their futures. The organization is renowned for its rapid response to emergencies and its long-term commitment to affected communities.
In Africa, the IRC is deeply involved in addressing the needs of communities affected by conflict, natural disasters, and health crises. The organization works across multiple sectors, including health, education, and economic recovery, to ensure sustainable development and resilience. By partnering with local organizations and governments, the IRC tailors its interventions to the unique challenges faced by each community, ensuring that aid is both effective and culturally sensitive. The IRC’s commitment to innovation and evidence-based practices has made it a leader in the humanitarian sector.
The IRC operates in numerous African countries, including South Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, among others.
The IRC’s key programs in Africa focus on emergency response, health services, education, and economic empowerment. The organization also emphasizes protection for women and children and works to prevent gender-based violence.

Its impact is seen in improved health outcomes, increased access to education, and enhanced economic opportunities for vulnerable populations.
