March 2022 Donations

International Rescue Committee

My primary reason for this month's donation to the IRC is due to the ongoing war in the Ukraine. There are so many sites and organisations that it's difficult to know which one to donate money to and if it will reach the intended. What I liked most about IRC was that they had Rami Malek on the front page of their website. I mean, I don't have feeling one about Mr. Malek, but knowing that he and other celebrities show their support for the IRC gives me peace of mind that it's a legitimate group. Then I read what they are doing and knew I was making the right choice.

The International Rescue Committee responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises, including the conflict in Ukraine and the crisis in Afghanistan.

We help to restore health, safety, education, economic wellbeing and power to people devastated by conflict and disaster. And we are proud to fight for a world where women and girls have an equal chance to succeed.

The IRC will put in place high-impact, cost-effective solutions that help people affected by crisis. We'll also use our learning and experience to shape humanitarian policy and practice in ways that improve the lives of more people worldwide. And in all of our work we will focus on breaking down each of the barriers faced by women and girls.

As Russia invades Ukraine and civilians seek safety, the IRC is preparing to rush critical aid to displaced families. Help us support families affected by the Ukraine crisis.

NOTE: On February 24, Russia deployed its military into Ukraine, a neighboring country in Eastern Europe. Bombs and shelling have continued to escalate as people flee their homes and seek safety.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is calling for an immediate ceasefire to avert what could become the worst humanitarian crisis Europe has seen in decades.
