NRC

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an independent humanitarian organisation helping people forced to flee. We protect displaced people and support them as they build a new future.
About NRC
Never before have more people been forced to leave their homes and everything they own behind. They need your help.
Support people forced to flee
We protect displaced people and support them as they build a new future. We started our relief efforts after World War Two. Today, we work in both new and protracted crises across more than 40 countries.
