NRC - Norwegian Refugee Council

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.

In Lebanon, families affected by the escalation of attacks had to leave their homes suddenly, often leaving behind their belongings and important documents.

Without these documents, accessing services, registering important life events, or proving rights can become much harder.

In collective shelters, we provided legal counselling and assistance to people seeking guidance on civil documentation and housing, land and property issues.

This support helps families better understand their rights and the steps they can take to protect them.

This response was funded by EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid.

In La Guaira, Venezuela, many families have found refuge in parks and in schools. But this is just a temporary solution, and more support is urgently needed.

Earlier this month, in Bar Elias, Bekaa, Lebanon, a fire damaged 11 tents where around 50 people lived. Families suddenly found themselves without shelter, and many also lost their belongings.

Rebuilding is costly and difficult, and many families cannot afford it. NRC provided essential materials, including wood and plastic sheeting, to help families repair their tents and have a safer place to sleep.

In La Guaira, Venezuela, our teams are on the ground, distributing essential relief items to families displaced by the recent earthquakes.

La Guaira is the area most affected by the disaster. Here, hundreds of buildings have been damaged or destroyed, and thousands of people are homeless.

One stadium is serving as a temporary shelter for 250 families. We distributed family hygiene kits, menstrual hygiene kits, and three water tanks to help people store clean water.

Elsewhere, a damaged school has been turned into a temporary shelter, with 29 displaced families living in its courtyard. There, we provided mobility kits including blankets, flashlights, power banks, mosquito repellent and other essentials.

Ebola is spreading fast in eastern DR Congo, and displacement sites are especially at risk. Many are severely overcrowded, with few toilets and few places to even wash your hands.

A classroom is more than just a place to learn. It is where students grow, build confidence and develop kindness and empathy.

In an NRC community education class in Herat, Afghanistan, students exchange “Flowers of Friendship”, strengthening positive relationships in the classroom.

Thanks to the generous support of EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid, some 1,614 students, including 897 girls, are now able to pursue their education in remote areas of Badghis and Herat provinces, opening doors to brighter futures and greater opportunities.

In Ecuador, defying a criminal gang’s demand carries significant risk, with repercussions ranging from a bomb planted at a family’s home to the abduction of a loved one – or even murder.

People either flee or resort to extreme measures to survive, such as hiding away indefinitely or restricting their movements.
