Focus on Europe
Although Europe largely consists of developed nations, it’s important to remember some of these nations are still affected by poverty. More than one in five Europeans experience poverty, and research shows Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, and North Macedonia – the four European countries IRUSA works in – are among the poorest nations.
Our Legacy Across Europe
IRUSA’s first humanitarian response was to the Bosnian war in 1995, where we provided vital emergency aid such as food and water and helped rebuild homes, schools, and places of worship. Now, 30 years later, we continue to deliver life-saving aid across four European countries including Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, and North Macedonia.
A few of our interventions include:
- Access to clean and safe water, education, and healthcare
- Food aid
- Orphan family support
- Sustainable livelihood support
- Socio-economic empowerment for women
- Enhancing resilience for vulnerable populations including refugees
- Winter aid
