In a world of poverty, war, displacement and disaster, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies serves those in need without regard as to race, religion, class or political belief.

The International Federation directs and coordinates international assistance to some of the world's most vulnerable people. Together with Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies, the Federation acts locally to respond to humanitarian challenges everywhere, everyday.

We would like to thank all those who donated to our Asia tsunami appeal. Due to your immense generosity, we now have sufficient funds to cover our programme to help the communities affected. For this, we thank you. However, every year there are over 200 other natural disasters which also need your support, so please help us to help them, by donating what you can today.

Your donation will be processed by WorldPay, who specialize in secure online financial transactions. Please fill out the form below. Once you press send you will be taken to a secure WorldPay area where your donation will be automatically processed.

Please note that you may also make a donation directly to the Red Cross or Red Crescent in your country, and so attract any national tax relief.
