Over the past 80 years, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) has developed unparalleled expertise in responding to emergencies and helping uprooted communities to rebuild. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC’s mission is to help people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their future.

IRC Deutschland (IRC-DE)

The International Rescue Committee Deutschland is part of the IRC global network. IRC has been present in Germany since 2016. With the support of German and European donors, more than 100 employees are now involved in projects for people affected by crises in more than 25 countries worldwide. In addition, we implement programs with and for refugees, asylum seekers and migrants in the area of Resettlement, Asylum and Integration (RAI) in Germany, Greece, the Western Balkans, Italy and the United Kingdom. In Germany itself, IRC runs programs for the integration of people seeking protection in all 16 federal states in the areas of education, economic integration, and protection and empowerment. For this purpose, we implement about 15 to 20 projects simultaneously, partly in cooperation with partner organizations. This work is funded by a number of public and private donors from Germany and abroad.
