International Rescue Committee
AstroTurtles Charity Event
What Do They Do?
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. At work in over 40 countries and 25 U.S. cities to restore safety, dignity and hope, the IRC leads the way from harm to home.
How You Can Help
You are already helping just by attending this event. You can do more by donating to the IRC, and to help solve specific problems you can buy their rescue gifts. 90% of the money donated goes directly to programs and services that directly benefit those in need.
Mosquito Nets
Malaria kills one child every 60 seconds and for $18 you can donate a mosquito net which reduces the rate of malaria by 90%.
Year of Education
For just $58 you can give a child an entire year of school. It also supplies the books and school supplies necessary to be successful in school.
Collapsible Water Container
For $18 you can give a collapsible water container to help women and children make the long walk to get clean water easier.
A Baby Goat
For just $90 you can help families to survive and rebuild their lives with the delivery of a baby goat. A goat provides a family with milk, and a sustainable source of income and a chance to regain economic independence.
A Healthy Pregnancy
Every day, 800 women die during pregnancy or childbirth, often from preventable causes. With just $52 you can provide a mother-to-be with care through childbirth.
