Abou Organization
The International Rescue Committee reacts to the worst humanitarian crises in the world by assisting those who have been affected by war and disaster to regain their health, safety, education, economic security, and access to electricity. The IRC was established in 1933 at Albert Einstein’s urging and today operates in over 40 nations and 25 American towns, assisting people in surviving, regaining control over their futures, and enhancing their communities. To support the healthy growth of refugee children and their communities in New York City, the IRC has formed partnerships with the city’s public schools, community-based groups, and colleges and institutions since 1999. The Education and Learning Program offers year-round training that works closely with young refugees, their families, schools, and caregivers.
