About us

    Home About us

    Young Swiss businessman, Jean Henry Dunant appalled by the condition of the wounded soldieries, he happened to see on the battlefield of Solferino, Italy in 1859 during the Franco-Austrian war, arranged relief services with the book ‘Memory of Solferino’ suggesting that a neutral organization be established to aid the release of this book, an international conference was convened in Geneva to consider the suggestions of Henry Dunant and thus the Red Cross Movement was born. International Red Cross Movement was established by the Geneva Convention of 1863. The name and the emblem of the movement were derived from the reversal of the Swiss national flag, to honor the country in which Red Cross was found. Now the Red Cross movement comprises 186 National Societies and millions of volunteers globally.

    The Red Cross Movement has three components:

    • International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)
    • International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies(IFRC)
    • National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
