Founded in 1933, the IRC offers life saving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. At work today in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.

In April 2012, the IRC launched an emergency response to address the humanitarian needs resulting from the food crisis and armed conflict in Mali.
