Greece currently hosts over 214,000 refugees and almost 20,000 asylum-seekers, half of whom wish to remain in the country. The International Rescue Committee (IRC) helps ensure these individuals understand their rights and provides them with job training, while also advocating for their rights, so that they can rebuild their lives.

The International Rescue Committee provides vital support to people in Italy whose lives and livelihoods have been devastated by conflict and disaster. We operate a variety of programs across Italy with a strong focus on supporting vulnerable populations, including refugees, asylum seekers, women and children.
