Together for humanity
In countries affected by armed conflict, too many children like Abdulrahman are kept awake by fear every night. Abdulrahman, 6 years old, was born in Iraq. He has known nothing but war. His father disappeared four years ago, and his family has not heard from him since.
Our teams encounter stories like this every day. Help us bring support and hope to those who need it most!
Supporting vulnerable communities has been at the heart of our action for over 150 years. Our humanitarian mission is to protect the lives and dignity of people affected by conflict. We provide vital assistance and strive to increase their ability to cover their essential needs sustainably and with dignity.
