The American Red Cross works
with a global network of Red Cross, Red Crescent and
equivalent societies to restore hope and dignity to the
world's vulnerable people. This international Red Cross
movement brings emergency relief to disaster victims, and
improves basic living conditions of those in chronically
deprived areas of the world. Guided by our seven Fundamental
Principles — Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality,
Independence, Voluntary Service, Unity and Universality —
the American Red Cross partners with countless organizations
in the efficient and effective relief of human suffering and
the empowerment of people with the skills they need to help
themselves.
