What We Do?
We support people where the need is greatest. Accordingly, we assist those who are most vulnerable within communities – the elderly, people living with disabilities, the homeless, indigent and mentally ill individuals.

It is the granting of compassionate leave or leave of absence to United States Servicemen

organizations.
The Red Cross, through its global network, helps to locate people, exchange messages, reunite families and clarify the fate of missing persons during emergencies, conflict and disasters, which often separate families.
With our Restoring Family Links (RFL) programme, we help reconnect family members who lose contact.
