Project Partners

International Rescue Committee

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) Hellas started operating in Greece in 2015, on the island of Lesvos, in response to the unprecedented number of refugees arriving on the island at the time. Since the start of programming in Greece, the IRC has provided support and protection services to people living in camps and urban settings. Directly, or in collaboration with partners, we have provided and continue to support shelter, emergency supplies, access to hygiene facilities, vital, reliable, and up-to-date information, protection for people with vulnerabilities, legal assistance, case management, mental health and psychosocial support, as well as employability and entrepreneurship services to refugees, asylum-seekers and other vulnerable individuals in Greece.

Our team of professionals is currently engaged in the city of Athens and on the island of Lesvos, and we also provide nationwide up-to-date reliable information through the Refugee.Info platform. In Lesvos, we provide Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS), while in Athens, we provide a variety of Child Protection, Mental Health and Psychosocial Support, Women’s Protection and Empowerment (WPE), Legal Support, Gender Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (GEDI), Advocacy and Economic Recovery and Development services.
