Each year, disasters, crises and disease devastate millions of people. As part of the world’s largest humanitarian network, Red Cross and Red Crescent teams provide relief and hope in nearly every corner of the globe. Volunteers often come from the communities they serve, making us powerful change-makers. Together, Red Cross and Red Crescent teams not only respond to emergencies—such as earthquakes, droughts, and health epidemics—but also help neighborhoods prepare for future disasters, reconnect families separated by conflict, migration and other crises, and ensure that children receive the vaccines they need to stay healthy. The American Red Cross strives to be a trusted partner within the global Red Cross and Red Crescent network, collectively transforming locally led management of humanitarian crises around the world.
