International Rescue Committee (IRC - Liberia)

International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises & helps people to survive, recover & gain control of their future. Founded in 1933, the International Rescue Committee provides lifesaving services to the world’s most vulnerable. We have been providing effective — and efficient — humanitarian aid to millions of families caught in crisis worldwide. We help people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their futures in more than 40 countries and in 25 U.S. cities. 

The IRC has been working in Liberia since 1996, initially helping hundreds of thousands of Liberian families rebuild after a devastating civil war, as well as protecting refugees who fled violence in nearby Ivory Coast. When an outbreak of Ebola erupted in Liberia in March 2014, the IRC was at the forefront of the fight to stop the spread of the deadly virus. Today we are providing ongoing support as Liberians recover from this crisis.
