Migration & Refugee Issues

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) helps people affected by humanitarian crises—including the climate crisis—to survive, recover and rebuild their lives. Founded at the call of Albert Einstein in 1933, the IRC is now at work in over 40 crisis-affected countries as well as communities throughout Europe and the Americas. We deliver lasting impact by providing health care, helping children learn, and empowering individuals and communities to become self-reliant, always seeking to address the inequalities facing women and girls.

We build a meaningful life for and with the displaced. When we find people displaced from their homes, countries, or lives, our instinct may be to focus only on their basic needs. And that is essential. But it’s also not a life. A life is filled with joy, dignity, connection, and purpose. And that’s what we aim to build. We are an open family of organizations that works closely with refugees, trafficked persons, and economic migrants, to co-design solutions that help them build full and fulfilling lives – lives that are Alight.

THE ORGANIZATION'S PRIMARY OBJECTIVE IS TO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL,MEDICAL AND OTHER SOCIAL SERVICES TO NEW IMMIGRANTS AND UNDERPRIVILEGED PERSONS (AND THEIR FAMILIES) AS THEY FULFILL THEIR COMMITMENT TO THE ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES ("IDF"). EACH YEAR, SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF PERSONS MAKE ALIYAH (EMIGRATE) TO ISRAEL TO ESCAPE PERSECUTION, OPPRESSION OR POVERTY OR TO SEEK RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. MANY DO NOT SPEAK HEBREW OR ENGLISH (ISRAEL'S MAJOR LANGUAGES), AND MANY HAVE NEVER BEEN EXPOSED TO, AND THEREFORE DO NOT UNDERSTAND, THE BASIC OPERATING TENETS OF WESTERN SOCIETY OR DEMOCRACY.

BECAUSE SERVICE IN THE IDF IS LARGELY MANDATORY FOR ALL ISRAELIS, THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THIS PERIOD OF SERVICE CREATES A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO OFFER EMIGRANTS AND THEIR FAMILIES APPROPRIATE EDUCATION AND SOCIAL SERVICES.
