About the IRC

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. At work in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities to restore safety, dignity and hope, the IRC leads the way from harm to home. Until March 2009, when the IRC and 12 other relief organizations were expelled from Darfur by the Sudanese government, the IRC provided healthcare, education, clean water, and education to nearly 2 million people in the region. Today, the IRC continues its commitment to the people of Darfur through work in camps for refugees along the border of Chad. The IRC established Ouré Cassoni camp in 2004.
