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 can my monthly gift provide?
Your monthly gift can help people facing the world’s worst humanitarian crises to survive, recover and rebuild their lives. For example:
