The Luxembourg Red Cross Humanitarian Aid is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. It adheres to its 7 fundamental principles.

Created in 1864,  together with the Geneva Conventions, the Red Cross’ initial mission was providing urgent and non-discriminatory relief to the injured in armed conflicts. Over time, and in view of the chronic nature of crises, we have expanded our commitment. In our international work, we are now pursuing the humanitarian ‘triple nexus’ of Emergency Aid, Development work and the promotion of Peace to sustainably improve the lives of women, children and vulnerable people, to build their resilience in the face of crises and to enable them to live with dignity and autonomy.
