The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an independent humanitarian organisation helping people forced to flee.

We protect displaced people and support them as they build a new future. We started our relief efforts after World War Two. Today, we work in both new and protracted crises in more than 30 countries. We specialise in six areas: food security, education, shelter, legal assistance, camp management, and water, sanitation and hygiene.

Before the war in Ukraine, there were 82.4 million people fleeing war and persecution in the world. Not since World War Two have more people needed our help. The Norwegian Refugee Council assisted almost 12 million people worldwide in 2020.

NRC works to protect the rights of displaced and vulnerable persons during crisis.

Through our programmes, we provide assistance to meet immediate humanitarian needs, prevent further displacement and contribute to durable solutions.

Through our stand-by rosters, we provide expertise as a strategic partner to the UN, as well as to national and international actors.

Through our advocacy, we strive for rights to be upheld and for lasting solutions to be achieved.

We take action during situations of armed conflict and engage in other contexts where our competencies will add value. We are a rights-based organisation and are committed to the principles of humanity, neutrality, independence and impartiality.

Ukraine
NRC started its activities in Ukraine in late 2014, supporting people affected by the conflict in the east. We are now scaling up our efforts inside Ukraine and in neighbouring countries to provide aid to people forced to flee.

We are now working with local partners providing welcome centres and warm meals to hundreds of people in Lviv, western Ukraine. In Warsaw a transit centre is constructed and run with partners at the central train station. NRC teams are also providing information and legal assistance to help Ukrainian and non-Ukrainian displaced people obtain protection and access essential services in several locations across the country, including in the eastern and west regions.

We are working with a large number of national partners in Poland, Moldova, and Romania, to ensure Ukrainian refugees have somewhere safe to sleep, that children can go to school, and that families are able to access existing national social support systems. NRC will work to provide cash directly to thousands of displaced mothers and fathers so they can take care of the basic needs of their families, both inside Ukraine and when they become refugees.

NRC has also started cross-border operations into Ukraine through neighbouring countries and has so far provided food and other aid supplies along evacuation routes.

NRC's regional crisis response plan sets out to assist 800,000 people in the next six months. Read more about our response plan here.

The situation for millions of people inside Ukraine is growing more desperate by the day.

NEED:
Funds are needed for partners in Poland, Romania, and the Republic of Moldova, to ensure Ukrainian refugees have:

  • A safe place to sleep.
  • Schools for children.
  • Access to existing national social support systems.
  • Transit centers to accommodate thousands of people per day.
