 International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies-
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
is the world's largest humanitarian organization, providing assistance
without discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs,
class or political opinions.
Founded in 1919, the International Federation comprises 176 member Red
Cross and Red Crescent societies, a Secretariat in Geneva and more than
60 delegations strategically located to support activities around the
world. There are more societies in formation. The Red Crescent is used in place of the Red Cross in many Islamic countries.
The Federation's mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people
by mobilizing the power of humanity. Vulnerable people are those who
are at greatest risk from situations that threaten their survival, or
their capacity to live with an acceptable level of social and economic
security and human dignity. Often, these are victims of natural disasters,
poverty brought about by socio-economic crises, refugees, and victims
of health emergencies.

The American Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers
and guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles
of the International Red Cross Movement, will provide relief to victims
of disasters and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to

Internationally The Salvation Army works in just over 100 countries
