About RI:       

Relief International is an international non-profit organization that partners with communities impacted by conflict, climate change and disaster to save lives, build greater resilience and promote long-term health and wellbeing.

Relief International is a 60-year-old international NGO alliance that is the product of mergers and alliances between four organizations.
