Driver or Driver At International Rescue Committee

CONTEXT:

Our organization responds to the world’s worst humanitarian emergencies and helps people affected by humanitarian crises, including the climate crisis, survive, recover and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the organization works in more than 50 countries to create a lasting impact by providing healthcare, helping children learn and empowering people and communities to be self-sufficient, always seeking to address the inequalities faced by women and girls.

The humanitarian crisis in Venezuela continues to worsen, with approximately 19 million people, 66% of the population, in need of humanitarian assistance. More than 7.7 million Venezuelans have emigrated to meet their basic needs, marking an unprecedented migration crisis in Latin America and one of the largest displacement crises worldwide. Colombia, which has received at least 2.9 million Venezuelan refugees and migrants, also faces multiple challenges, leaving some 8.3 million people with significant humanitarian needs. This situation has resulted from the combination of different factors such as armed conflict, climate variability, the latent impact of COVID-19, inflation and institutional limitations to deal with both the internally affected population and the massive arrival of refugees and migrants. .

The organization, together with a large number of local allies, has responded to this situation by providing services in the areas of health, protection, education, and economic recovery and development in Norte de Santander, Valle del Cauca, Cundinamarca, Antioquia, Nariño, and Bogotá. In Venezuela, we develop programs through local organizations in the areas of health, education, food security, and protection. To date, we have served 576,699 people in these countries.
