The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.
Each day, thousands of people – people just like you – provide compassionate care to those in need. Our network of generous donors, volunteers and employees share a mission of preventing and relieving suffering, here at home and around the world.
We roll up our sleeves and donate time, money and blood. We learn or teach life-saving skills so our communities can be better prepared when the need arises. We do this every day because the Red Cross is needed - every day.
We're a nonprofit social enterprise that equips smallholder farmers with the tools, knowledge, and innovations they need to prosper. Our solutions are proven to increase productivity, build resilience, and strengthen markets for farmers, and in 2024, we served 5.5 million farmers in 10 countries across Africa. On average, the farmers we serve increase their farm income by over 40% per year.
In everything we do, we put Farmers First.
