Mali, Burkina Faso, Nepal,…
Since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, an incredible outpouring of generosity has enabled us to act quickly and as closely as possible to the people affected by the conflict. We remain mobilized to meet the immense needs, whether in Ukraine or with refugees here in Luxembourg. The Luxembourg Red Cross is also involved in other countries such as Mali, Burkina Faso or Nepal, to help people whose living conditions are made difficult by climate crises, armed conflicts and violence.

Panzi, Democratic Republic of the Congo
Providing safe and dignified housing for survivors of sexual violence.
In Panzi, Democratic Republic of Congo, the Luxembourg Red Cross is building houses for victims of sexual violence. For these women and children traumatised by the violence, the house is a refuge where they can feel safe. We also provide them with seeds and livestock so that they can feed themselves and be self-sufficient. Finding a home and being able to care for one’s family in dignified conditions are important steps in the healing process.
100 houses
already built by the Luxembourg Red Cross.
+ 100 other houses
are currently in the works.
We need your donation to continue providing a home for survivors of sexual violence and their families.

Improving daily access to water for children and their families

« Now, with the water tower, we have water in quantity allowing us not only to drink at school but also to wash our hands whenever we want.»

Nepal
Supporting the most vulnerable populations
The people of Dhading district, Nepal, are among the most vulnerable in the country. They are highly exposed to natural disasters, lack of drinking water and poverty.
Our teams have developed an integrated program to help rebuild, prevent natural hazards, improve access to water and provide help to cover the basic needs of the most vulnerable families.
Your donation allows us to finance this program, and to adapt it to the crises of which the poorest are the first victims. For example, we can create an emergency fund to help families who have fallen into extreme poverty due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
