2A Message from the Co-Chairsof the IRC Board and OverseersSarah O’HaganCo-Chair, Board of DirectorsThomas SchickCo-Chair, Board of DirectorsGlenda BurkhartCo-Chair, OverseersDear Supporters,We are pleased to present you with the annualreport of the <strong>International</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong> <strong>Committee</strong> for<strong>2012</strong>, a year in which the IRC continued to savelives and provide refugees the world over with hopeand the promise of a brighter future. In all, the IRCundertook operations in more than 40 countriesand conducted programs for resettled refugees in22 U.S. cities. As the statistics highlighted in thisreport indicate, the IRC’s work has had a direct andsubstantial impact on the lives of millions of people.For example, the IRC provided health care servicesto 14 million people, supported schools or childfriendly spaces attended by nearly 600,000students, and trained over 15,000 educators. IRCeconomic development programs created nearly800 village savings and loan associations in ninecountries, benefiting over 18,000 people and theircommunities. An IRC agricultural support programtreated or vaccinated nearly 500,000 head oflivestock. In the U.S., the IRC helped resettle some7,600 refugees and provided services to over24,500 refugees, victims of human trafficking, andpeople granted asylum.The IRC’s strong performance last year and overthe last decade reflects well on the outstandingleadership of the organization’s president, GeorgeRupp. Now that George has decided to step downthis coming summer—as he notes in own letterin this report—we want to take this opportunity tothank him for his dedicated service.During George’s tenure, the IRC’s already wellregardedability to respond to emergencies hasimproved significantly. At the same time, the IRC’sprofessionalism has grown, with our operationsbuttressed by highly knowledgeable, experiencedteams in key program areas, including publichealth, women’s protection and empowerment,the education and protection of children, rightsand governance at the community level, advocacy,and the measurement and evaluation of our work.Efforts have also been focused on obtainingfinancial resources and building organizationalinfrastructure, even as the IRC continues to spendat least 90 cents of every dollar on programs.As a result, the IRC today is more efficient, moreeffective, and in a better position to save lives thanever before.George has given the Board of Directors morethan a year to carry out an unhurried search for hissuccessor. That effort is moving ahead smoothly.In the meantime, George continues to lead theIRC team with vigor and energy. We and our Boardand Overseer colleagues have very much enjoyedworking closely with him, and we are savoring ourfinal months with him as president.Thank you very much for your support.Sarah O’HaganCo-Chair, Board of DirectorsThomas SchickCo-Chair, Board of DirectorsGlenda BurkhartCo-Chair, OverseersScott PelleyCo-Chair OverseersScott PelleyCo-Chair OverseersIRC <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2012</strong>


3Letter from the PresidentDear Friends,This <strong>2012</strong> annual report is a testament to thecrucial role that our donors play in the lifesaving,life-changing work of the <strong>International</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong><strong>Committee</strong>. Thanks to your generosity, the IRChas been able to respond swiftly and robustlyto the year’s major humanitarian crises—forexample, those involving refugees fleeing from thedevastation in Syria, the people of Mali uprootedby drought and civil war, and the residents ofeastern Congo, where fighting among armedfactions continues.Throughout the IRC’s 80-year history, donors haveplayed a critical role in our work, and perhaps nevermore so than in the last decade. With your help,we have kept pace with an array of humanitarianchallenges caused by the conflicts in Iraq, Sudan,and Ivory Coast, and by the natural disasters thatwreaked havoc in Pakistan, Japan, Myanmar, theHorn of Africa, and Indonesia.Your support has ensured that we can continue ourwork in Afghanistan, Myanmar, South Sudan, andZimbabwe. You also help us to carry out a rangeof innovative programs that protect and empowerwomen and that spare young children from deadlybut easily preventable diseases. In the UnitedStates, you enable us to assist newly resettledrefugees and help them become productivemembers of their new communities.On a personal note, I would like to expressmy appreciation for the warm encouragement andstrong backing given to me by our donors.Last May I notified our Board of Directors andOverseers—as well as my staff colleagues—thatI would step down in the summer of 2013. It haslong been my belief that sustaining the momentumof an institution requires ongoing renewal of energyand ideas and, therefore, at appropriate intervals,a new leader.As president, I have benefited from the strongfoundation laid over the years by my predecessorsand by our donors, staff, Board and Overseers.I am pleased to say that we have added substantiallyto that legacy during the last 10 years. We haveenhanced the professionalism of both our frontlinestaff and the teams that back them behind thescenes as we carry out our relief and developmentmission. We have expanded our family of individualdonors (who are truly the lifeblood of the IRC) andaugmented the resources they provide by winningsignificantly increased funding from a variety ofnew institutional and government donors. Wehave maintained and enhanced our reputation foreffectiveness and financial efficiency. As a result ofall these efforts, our budget has tripled, enabling usto rise to the increasing need for our services.I am grateful for the support you have given tothe IRC and to me, and I hope you will be equallysupportive of my successor.Sincerely,George RuppGeorge RuppFrom Infants to AdolescentsWe vaccinated over292,000 childrenagainst diseaseIRC-supported clinicsand hospitals helped151,000 womendeliver healthy babies


4The IRC in <strong>2012</strong>:Providing Relief and Recovery,from Syria’s Borders to the SahelIRC <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2012</strong>


5Whether responding to war and natural disaster or working toalleviate long-running humanitarian crises, the <strong>International</strong><strong>Rescue</strong> <strong>Committee</strong> is on the ground every day restoring safety,dignity and hope to millions of people who are struggling toendure. In <strong>2012</strong> the IRC delivered lifesaving aid in over 40countries and 22 U.S. cities.The IRC leads the way from harm to home. Drought in Mali:[Above] Political turmoil has exacerbated a food crisis brought on by asevere drought that has afflicted much of the Sahel region of West Africa.Children are especially vulnerable. The IRC is treating malnourishedchildren at 35 health clinics in southern Mali, including this one in Kati.Our aid workers, including a traveling theater group, are visiting ruralvillages where they help families recognize signs of malnutrition in children.Crisis in Syria: [Left] Since the uprising in Syria began in 2011, tensof thousands of people have been killed and over two million peoplehave been displaced, including more than 500,000 refugees. The IRC isdoing its part to support Syrian refugees in Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq,providing emergency supplies, health care, access to legal aid, andservices for women and girls who have been victims of sexual violence.We are also working with Syrian partners who provide emergencyservices in Syria. Here, refugee children eat breakfast in theJordanian border town of Ramtha.


6Stability for the displaced in Pakistan:[Above] More than 5,200 children attend IRC-runschools at the Jalozai displaced persons campin Pakistan’s northwestern tribal area. Somehalf a million people have passed through thecamp since Pakistani troops were deployed torout militants in the region in January <strong>2012</strong>. Theschools provide a stable environment that helpsthe children recover from trauma. Teachers aretrained to involve students in learning and toincrease their self-awareness and confidence.The IRC has worked in Pakistan for over 30years, providing health care, education, jobtraining and other essential services to peopleaffected by conflict and natural disaster.Support for women and girls: [Above] Protection of women and girlsand support for their rights are a cornerstone of IRC programs. In <strong>2012</strong>,the IRC released a report that shined a powerful light on the treatment ofwomen in West Africa, describing the incidence of domestic violence inIvory Coast, Liberia and Sierra Leone as acute and pervasive and urginggovernments and international institutions to recognize domestic violenceas a public crisis. In Liberia, the report led to the introduction of legislationto curb domestic violence and it prompted public meetings and discussionthroughout the region.New Roots in America: [Right] When refugeesarrive in the United States, they leave everythingfamiliar behind. For many, that means losing tiesto the land and a tradition of growing their ownfood. In <strong>2012</strong>, the IRC launched New Roots, anationwide program that helps refugees establishcommunity gardens, farmers markets, foodpantries and farm-based businesses. The IRCprovides participants with training, tools, seedsand connections to potential buyers. From Idahoto New York, New Roots enables refugees tore-establish ties to the land, celebrate theirheritage and nourish themselves and theiradopted communities with healthy, fresh food.IRC <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2012</strong>


8Rebuilding South Sudan: [Above] In the world’s newest nation, theIRC is delivering vital aid to people struggling to escape conflict andrebuild their communities. We launched support services and opened awomen’s wellness center at the Yida camp for refugees fleeing conflictacross the border in Sudan. More than 400 babies have been deliveredin the center since it opened in April <strong>2012</strong>. Meanwhile, decades ofwar have left South Sudan without a functioning health system ortrained personnel. Over 75 percent of the population has no access toeven basic medical care. In response, the IRC is supporting 30 healthfacilities, like this one in Aweil.Dignity for refugees in Thailand: [Right] Ban Mai Nai Soi is one ofnine camps in northwestern Thailand where the IRC aids some 140,000Burmese refugees, providing drinking water, food, health care, sanitation,legal aid, protection for children and abused women, and resettlementprocessing. The state-of-the-art medical clinic at the Ban Mai Nai Soicamp has been has been providing quality care for nearly 20 years.Actress Sarah Wayne Callies, a longtime IRC supporter, visited the campin <strong>2012</strong>. Callies is also a member of IRC Voices, a group of talentedartists who bring attention to the plight of refugees.IRC <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2012</strong>


9Advocating for displaced refugees andpeople: [Left] In <strong>2012</strong> the IRC successfullyfocused the attention of global policymakers on the needs of refugees anddisplaced people. We advocated for Syrianrefugee women and girls and led the effortto improve the response to victims of sexualviolence. In Afghanistan, the IRC releaseda major report on the future of developmentfunding in that country after the withdrawalof NATO forces. We continued to advocatefor solutions to the plight of Iraq’s internallydisplaced people and for resettlement inthe U.S. of Iraqi refugees who can’t returnhome. And in the U.S., we worked toreform the refugee resettlement system andto ensure that refugee admissions would notfalter despite stricter security procedures.

FeldmanHanna and Gus Papanek at homein Lexington, Mass., 72 years afterbeing rescued by the IRC.Committed tothe CauseIn 1940, teenage friends HannaKaiser and Gustav Papanek andtheir families were among hundredsof anti-Nazi exiles trapped inFrance. France had fallen to NaziGermany and the families, asJews and socialists, were on theGestapo’s wanted list for arrest andalmost certain death. The Frenchgovernment in Vichy, which wascollaborating with the Nazis, refusedto allow them to leave.The families were put in contact withthe Emergency <strong>Rescue</strong> <strong>Committee</strong>,the predecessor of the IRC, andits emissary Varian Fry, a youngAmerican who had been sent toFrance to help anti-Nazis escapeoccupied Europe. In August, Gusand his family crossed the borderillegally, followed in October byHanna and hers.Traveling via Spain and Portugal,Hanna and Gus landed separatelyin New York, where with emergencyvisas supplied by the Emergency<strong>Rescue</strong> <strong>Committee</strong>, they wereadmitted. The two were reunited inNew York and in 1947 they married.Today, 65 years later, the couple,as lifelong supporters of the IRC,remains committed to the causeof social justice and refugees. In2008, they endowed the PapanekFamily Foundation to supportcharitable organizations such as theIRC. Through the foundation, thePapaneks’ support for the IRC willcontinue long after their lifetimes.The decision to support the IRCwas an easy one, Hanna says. “Youhelped us survive when we neededhelp. Now, because we can, we helpyou to help others.”(§) Deceased Donors listed in italics have contributed consecutively for three or more years.
