Where we work



The International Federation is running or supporting programmes in more than 150 countries. These programmes assist millions of the world's most vulnerable people; victims of natural and man-made disasters, refugees and displaced people and those hit by socio-economic problems.

Our Appeal 2008-2009 seeks 326 million Swiss francs to fund humanitarian assistance programmes. In addition to the Appeal 2008-2009, separate emergency (ad-hoc) appeals are launched throughout the year as new disasters occur.

The material in this section is stored by country, and includes news stories, individual appeal documents, programme updates and profiles of National Societies. For information relating to individual country operations, please click on the appropriate region.

The statistics section contains key data operations, along with a summary of the Federation's operations from 1998-2007, and since it was founded in 1919.

The International Federation runs mailing lists which you may sign up to for notification of when appeals and situation reports are issued, and for distribution of the reports themselves.
