The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is a global humanitarian organization that provides aid to refugees and those affected by conflict and disaster. They are currently supporting evacuees from Kupyansk, Ukraine and have a variety of ways for people to help. One way to help is to start a fundraiser to support refugees. People can donate monthly, make a planned gift, join a donor advised fund, or stream and game to raise money. The IRC is also focused on providing economic wellbeing, education, health, empowerment, and safety to those in need.
Opinion:
It is admirable that the International Rescue Committee is providing aid to those in need. However, it is not enough to just provide aid, it is important to also create long-term solutions that will help prevent future crises.
