About the International Rescue Committee

Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst crises. When refugees have been forced to flee war, persecution or natural disaster, the IRC has led them to safety and self-reliance. At work in 42 countries and 24 US cities, the IRC offers emergency lifesaving care and helps devastated survivors to rebuild their lives.
