American
Red
Cross
Responds
to
International
Disasters
The American Red
Cross is dedicated to helping the world’s most
vulnerable
people—in Haiti and where the needs
are the greatest.In addition to disaster
response, we focus
on improving primary health care, restoring family links, and
disseminating the guiding
principles of international humanitarian law.We
also
work
to
train
volunteers
to
empower
individuals
and
communities
with
the
skills
and
knowledge they need to help themselves.None of these comprehensive relief and
development programs would be possible without compassion
and support of our International
Response
Fund.
