A major player in the social and solidarity economy, the French Red Cross manages a network of more than 600 establishments and services in the health, medico-social and training sectors. She is also at the head of 12 regional health and social training institutes.

Internationally, the CRF operates in 16 countries alongside National Societies and 2 regional platforms (PIRAC and PIROI), on the following themes: Health and Disaster Risk Management.

In the same way as in the professions that it develops and implements in France, the French Red Cross internationally places all its missions in a sustainable humanitarian action plan. This results in an articulation of emergency, post-emergency, crisis exit and reconstruction activities aimed at maximum efficiency. The objective is to carry out actions with lasting effects and to allow populations to regain their complete autonomy.

Our association also wants to strengthen its presence and the promotion of its priority commitments within the International Movement.

On September 8, 2023, an earthquake shook Morocco, causing nearly 3,000 deaths and 6,000 injuries. The Moroccan Red Crescent and the CR/CR Movement immediately go to the field, in close coordination with local authorities, to assess the situation and provide aid to those affected.

The French Red Cross was quick to mobilize in response to the crisis. On September 9, 2023, a call for donations was launched with the aim of contributing, as part of the CRCR Movement’s response, to relief actions on site, and to provide essential products.

The CRf then organizes, at the beginning of October, an exploratory mission to meet the Moroccan Red Crescent with a view to supporting the emergency response to the earthquake. After identifying unmet needs and defining cooperation modalities, the French Red Cross wants to support the Moroccan Red Crescent and act by opening a delegation on site.
