DEPARTMENT/COUNTRY PROGRAM DESCRIPTION/MISSION

The American Refugee Committee (ARC) is an international humanitarian organization dedicated to transformational change – change in the lives of refugees and in the lives of the people who reach out to help.  American Refugee Committee programs are built from the ground up.  We work with people at the most vulnerable points in their lives, when they have lost everything to war or disaster.  They let us know what they need most, and we work together to develop ways to help them get it.  Our programs are as diverse as the people we serve, but they all work together for the same goal:  to help people take back control of their lives.  We help nearly 2.5 million people a year through programs around the world.
