Federation of the Future The global challenges confronting the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies are mounting every day. HIV/AIDS is killing over 8,000 people a day. More than 1 billion people live on less than US$ 1 a day. Every day, 30,000 children under the age of five die. Far too many of them are killed by preventable diseases. Access to basic health services and clean water is still a dream for the majority of the world’s population. Moreover, each year, millions of people are affected by natural disasters. Vulnerable communities look to the International Federation and our network of Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies to address these global challenges, increase the scale and scope of our work and show the results and impact of our actions and advocacy. The Federation of the Future process defines how the organization works together to achieve our mission of alleviating human suffering. Millions of people stand to benefit from a strong, focused and relevant Federation which is outward looking and engaged. Our impact in the world is increased when it functions well and works together effectively.
