Background
The International Rescue
Committee (IRC)
responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps
people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of
Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to
refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. At work today in over 40
countries and 22 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity and hope to millions
who are uprooted and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to
home.
IRC Tanzania coordinates
the provision of services across a broad range of sectors in the Kigoma
district of Northwestern Tanzania, with the majority of programs currently
being implemented in Nyarugusu refugee camp, home to approximately 64,000
Congolese refugees. Since the influx of over 130,000 Burundian asylum seekers from
May 2015, IRC has been providing services in various transit locations in
Northwestern Tanzania in the reception centers and temporary camps within
Nyarugusu. Within these contexts, IRC provides protection and basic
assistance in the areas of Child and Youth Protection and Development,
Community based rehabilitation for persons with disabilities and special needs,
Gender based violence / Women’s protection and empowerment (WPE) and Primary
health care at border posts for the Burundian new arrivals. In addition, IRC
also does child protection work in the host communities surrounding the camps,
in partnership with local government.
