As part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, it provides timely assistance in emergencies, disasters, and contexts of humanitarian need.
Guided by its Fundamental Principles—Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary Service, Unity, and Universality—the CRV acts as an auxiliary to public authorities in the humanitarian field, working to reduce human suffering without distinction of race, gender, religion, or ideology. Its work encompasses emergency medical care, strengthening community resilience, first aid training, disaster response, and the promotion of health and well-being.
Through a network of highly committed volunteers, the CRV efficiently and effectively mobilizes resources to be present where they are most needed, when they are most needed. Its work is based on solidarity, respect for human dignity, and a commitment to protecting life in all its forms.
