Why give monthly?

Giving monthly is efficient for you, effective for us and life-changing for the people we serve.

Monthly gifts help our teams respond quickly to emergencies in the world’s toughest places and stay for as long as we are needed. 

Sustained support helps us continue our programs uninterrupted. We’re able to provide ongoing education to refugee children and consistent protection services, medical care and other life-changing support.

The world’s worst crises in 2021: how the IRC is responding

 

In the world’s toughest places, displaced families need your help more than ever. In Yemen at the end of 2020, malnutrition for children under 5 was the highest ever recorded. In Afghanistan, humanitarian needs are skyrocketing amid unrelenting violence and the pandemic. In Syria, the war has now been going on for a decade and to make matters worse, families now face a brutally cold winter without shelter and the emergency supplies they need to survive. 

This year, you can help us respond to the world’s worst humanitarian crises by becoming a monthly donor. 

What is the impact of monthly gifts?

Thanks to our donors, including our monthly supporters, the IRC makes a lasting impact each year. In 2020 alone, we helped:

31 million people with access to health services
410,000 children under 5 with nutrition treatment
2.6 million people with clean water
1.1 million people with cash relief
819,500 children with schooling and education opportunities
1.2 million people with gender-based violence awareness 
13,413 small businesses with business development support
5,237 people become U.S. citizens

These are just a few highlights of our impact in 2020.
