About Us

Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster.

In 2016, IRC Germany was founded and is involved in the areas of education, economic wellbeing, and safety, legal protection, and empowerment throughout Germany.

IRC DE was established in 2016 to further enhance the profile of the German humanitarian and development sector and to provide further opportunities for advocacy on behalf of the people we serve.

Since its establishment, IRC DE has grown rapidly and has representations in Bonn and Berlin. It is working with major German statutory donors, like the German Federal Foreign Office, KfW, and GIZ. IRC DE is also cooperating with German civil society organizations. In Europe, the IRC also has offices in Brussels, Geneva, Stockholm, and London.
