The IRC helps people affected by humanitarian crises to survive, recover and rebuild their lives. We work in over 50 crisis-affected countries, bringing ingenuity, fortitude and optimism to making a lasting impact for the people we serve. We arrive at the onset of crisis and aim to stay as long as we are needed. We also help refugees and other vulnerable people integrate into their new communities across dozens of cities in Europe and the Americas.

The English language is no piece of cake. This is what happened when Rabab, who completed the IRC's leadership course, asked the public to explain some popular British sayings. Learning English is key for refugees looking for work in the UK or trying to integrate into their new communities. But often, refugees aren't given the support they need.
