Who we are - The IRC's impact at a glance

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and help people to survive, recover, and gain control of their future.

Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees and displaced people forced to flee from war or disaster.
