The staff of the Financial Times has chosen the IRC as its 2014 Seasonal Appeal charity partner. Every donation to the appeal will be doubled by the government of the United Kingdom. This match funding will go toward IRC projects supporting vulnerable people caught up in the Syrian crisis.
“On behalf of the millions of people around the world displaced by conflict and disaster, the IRC is delighted and honored to have been chosen by FT staff for their seasonal appeal. Tragically, human misery is a growth industry, especially in the Middle East and large parts of Africa where conflict combines with weak governance to wreck lives, but the focus of our appeal will be practical social and economic interventions that can make a long-lasting difference for vulnerable people.
