Swedish Red Cross

About Swedish Red Cross

The Red Cross is the world's leading disaster relief organization. We are on the ground before, during, and after disasters to help vulnerable people in acute crisis and need, and to strengthen communities' resilience and their recovery capacity afterwards. The Swedish Red Cross is one of 191 national societies in a worldwide movement, and our mission is to prevent and alleviate human suffering, protect life and health, and ensure respect for the dignity of every person in Sweden and internationally. In Sweden, the Swedish Red Cross helps people seeking protection in Sweden from war, conflicts, and persecution. We work with tracing and family reunification and provide psychosocial support to strengthen people's ability to cope with stressful events. Throughout Sweden, the Swedish Red Cross works with health-promoting activities to break involuntary isolation and strengthen physical, mental, and social well-being. By offering meeting places for people, we strengthen participation in society. The Swedish Red Cross is part of Sweden's crisis preparedness and provides humanitarian support, first aid, and practical help in crises. Internationally, the Swedish Red Cross's international activities help people affected by crises, wars, conflicts, and natural disasters, responding to at least 25 disaster relief appeals from different parts of the world. We support long-term efforts in at least 20 countries where we contribute with expertise in water and sanitation, gender, diversity and inclusion, health, and resilience.
