At work today in more than 40 countries and in 22 U.S. cities, IRC restores safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted by conflict or disaster. IRC leads the way from harm to home.

IRC is operating in Cameroon since 2016 in the Far North Region delivering lifesaving programming to increase access to water and improving hygiene practices, supporting people to meet their basic needs, and providing GBV response programming for affected communities.
