The Norwegian Refugee Council is an independent humanitarian organisation helping people forced to flee. We started our relief efforts after World War Two.

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an independent humanitarian organisation helping people forced to flee. We protect displaced people and support them as they build a new future. Today, we work in both new and protracted crises across over 40 countries. We specialise in six areas: food security, education, shelter, legal assistance, camp management, and water, sanitation and hygiene. We stand up for people forced to flee. NRC is a determined advocate for displaced people. We promote and defend displaced people's rights and dignity in local communities, with national governments and in the international arena. NRC’s Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre in Geneva is a global leader in monitoring, reporting on and advocating for people displaced within their own country. We respond quickly to emergencies. Our global provider of expertise, NORCAP, boasts around 1,000 experts from all over the world. Our experts help improve international and local ability to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from crises. Around 16,000 people work for the Norwegian Refugee Council. Most of us are hired locally to work in the field, and a small number are based at our head office in Oslo. Many of our colleagues were once themselves fleeing their homes. Today, a record 114 million people are fleeing war and persecution. Not since World War Two have more people needed our help. The Norwegian Refugee Council assisted almost 10 million people worldwide in 2023, and with your support, we can help even more.

There are attacks on education every week in Ecuador.

Schools should be protected. But instead, criminal groups use schools to extort, kill, use guns and commit other forms of violence.

This mother and her daughter fled to Ecuador from Venezuela. She told us that she is grateful for the refuge the country has offered her, but she fears for her life here.

“Honestly, it’s scary here,” she told us. “You’re not even safe at school. You go to collect your child and you don’t know who’s standing next to you..."

Ecuador has gone from being one of the safest countries in Latin America to one of the most violent in recent years.

One teacher told us that a criminal gang severed a young person's head and left it outside the school. “They do this to instil fear in all of us, teachers and students alike.”

We provide urgently needed humanitarian aid to people in Ecuador, including to those who have been forced from their homes after surviving attacks on education.

In recent months, cholera cases have been reported in Borno State, Nigeria, putting already vulnerable communities at greater risk.

We are helping to reduce its spread by disinfecting homes and latrines and chlorinating water sources. We’re also providing essential supplies and hygiene awareness sessions to help communities better protect themselves.

In a cholera outbreak, prevention is critical. Safe water, clean environments and good hygiene can save lives.

With thanks to Norad for the support.

Clean water and safe sanitation should be basic necessities. But for many families in Hermel, Lebanon, they remain difficult to access.

With support from the Sida - Styrelsen för Internationellt Utvecklingssamarbete Embassy of Sweden in Beirut we have distributed 594 hygiene kits and 85 water tanks to communities across Hermel.

More water tanks and new latrines will follow, helping families meet essential water and sanitation needs and live in safer, more dignified conditions.

Shadia, a refugee living in Uganda, had been crocheting at home for years but had no way to reach customers. Through the POWER Project, she learned design, social media marketing and how to communicate with buyers.

Now she is selling, teaching others her craft and her small business income is covering food, water and electricity for her family.
