The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is among the world’s leading nonprofit humanitarian relief and development organizations. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC’s mission is to assist those whose lives and livelihoods have been shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover and gain control over their lives. The organization has been at the forefront of virtually every major humanitarian initiative for the last 80 years. At work today in over 40 countries and 26 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity, and hope to millions uprooted and struggling to endure.

In response to increased migrant arrivals into Europe in 2015, the IRC began responding in Serbia and later expanded to other countries in the Balkans to assist vulnerable refugees and migrants. The programs are implemented in close partnership with local non-governmental organizations and government institutions.
