The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is a global humanitarian organization that provides critical assistance to people affected by conflict, persecution, and natural disasters. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC operates in over 40 countries and 26 U.S. cities, delivering emergency aid, protecting vulnerable populations, and supporting communities in rebuilding their lives. The organization’s mission is to help people whose lives have been shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their futures.
In Kenya, the IRC has been active since the early 1990s, primarily working in refugee camps and remote areas to provide essential services such as health care, education, and economic empowerment programs. The IRC’s work in Kenya includes supporting refugees from neighboring countries like Somalia and South Sudan, as well as addressing the needs of local communities affected by poverty and instability.
The IRC is known for its holistic approach to humanitarian aid, combining immediate relief efforts with long-term development strategies. This includes initiatives to improve health systems, support women and girls, enhance livelihoods, and promote peace and stability. The IRC’s commitment to innovation and evidence-based solutions has made it a leader in the global humanitarian field, consistently delivering life-saving support to those who need it most.
