International Rescue Committee

About Us

In 1933, Albert Einstein and a small group of humanitarians formed what would become the International Rescue Committee. Today, we deliver lasting impact by providing health care, helping children learn, and empowering individuals and communities to become self-reliant, always with a focus on the unique needs of women and girls. Our work spans more than 40 crisis-affected countries, and we provide resettlement, asylum, and integration services in communities across the United States and Europe.
