Relief International is an international non-profit organization that partners with communities impacted by conflict, climate change and disaster to save lives, build greater resilience and promote long-term health and wellbeing.

People living in fragile settings face complex, interconnected and deep-rooted crises that often tear a hole in the social fabric of communities. When this happens, our teams work closely with community leaders; first focusing on critical health needs, and then, as communities recover, focusing on both health and wellbeing programming that helps reweave the social fabric for greater resilience in the future. 

Our team of more than 5,000 staff and local volunteers work in 16 countries across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, providing Health and Nutrition, WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene), Education and Livelihoods programming that is safe, truly local, conflict sensitive, climate smart, evidence based, and reaches those in need.

Relief International is a 60-year-old international NGO alliance that is the product of mergers and alliances between three organizations. Today, Relief International is comprised of Relief International, Inc., Relief International-France, and Relief International-UK, all of which are led by a single senior leadership team.

Relief International Sudan is a branch of Relief International, Inc. and is registered locally with the Government of Sudan, Federal Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC) as an International Non-governmental Organization (INGO). The Country Director is responsible for legal issues within Sudan, subject to compliance with Relief International’s legal Standards and other requirements set by Relief International Headquarters.
