I was a Donor & Visited Uganda and met with Program Director in Kitgum in July 2009.
Post public compliment
This organization is A+ in every sense: track record (since 1933) of going to crisis zones to rescue and rebuild. They live up to their motto: From Harm to Home.
International Rescue Committee believes in systemic change. I visited in Uganda this summer, July 2009, and met with the Program Director in Kitgum and her local staff. I was blown away by skills, caring, organization of IRC. Their response is immediate and sustaining. They commit to working with the local population and servicing their needs, from Emergency Response to Resettling Refugees, and everything in between. They are in Africa, Asia, Northern Caucasus, Middle East and the USA. 90% of funds are spent for Programs and Services.
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... in meeting children and adults who have benefited from the IRC's involvement. I visited schools and witnessed first hand, the efforts made to change the lives of children. I plan to visit Syria next!
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... was the opportunity to see first hand in Uganda, Africa, what they accomplish to honor life of those in need.
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... In Uganda, Kitgum, Program Director,(now in Syria)and her Staff, all caring, qualified, personable.
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... It would probably double its outreach!
Ways to make it better!
- If I ran this organization, I would... designate funds for program directors for staff retreats. Time away for improving skills and bonding is beneficial to all. This was done by the program director in Kitgum, and the staff raved about it!
