About
The Dutch Red Cross works to prevent and alleviate human suffering, both in the Netherlands and around the world. Their key areas of focus
include:
Food Assistance in the Netherlands: Over 450,000 people in the Netherlands struggle to afford food. The Red Cross distributes grocery cards to those who fall through the cracks — such as people who earn just above the threshold for regular aid or lack the proper documentation.
Emergency Response: Providing rapid aid during disasters and crises, both nationally and internationally.
First Aid & Preparedness: Offering first aid training and helping communities prepare for emergencies.
Restoring Family Links: Reuniting families separated by conflict, disaster, or migration.
Humanitarian Support: Assisting vulnerable groups like refugees, the homeless, and victims of exploitation.
Data-Driven Relief: Using technology and data to deliver faster, more targeted humanitarian aid.
