INTERNATIONAL AMERICAN RELIEF SOCIETY IARS

We believe all lives are equal. No-one should be discriminated against or live-in poverty. We want a just and sustainable world where everyone can safely speak truth to power, claim their human rights, and build a better future for themselves. We offer direct support to people and communities living with poverty, above all in countries in the global South. We seek to add value to our partners' work and all those who challenge discrimination, exclusion, and exploitation. But for change to be sustainable, it must be systemic. To contribute to change that lasts, we mobilize to transform the systems, policies, and practices that significantly impact people's lives. We fight for gender justice and against any form of violence against women and girls. We take action to stop the climate crisis. We provide humanitarian and development assistance to displaced people in war, refugees, and other internally displaced persons to improve the quality of their living environment through the implementation of development projects promote -education, justice, - health, desirable births through family planning and reproductive health - food self-sufficiency taking into account positive local cultural values promoting peaceful coexistence between various socio-cultural groups. Women and children are at the heart of our actions. In all our programs, we pay particular attention to women's conditions and the first children of poverty in the world. Gender equality is a fundamental right. It is also an essential factor in the fight against poverty. That is why IARS contributes to women's empowerment and empowerment.
