About us
The Netherlands Refugee Foundation was founded in 1976 to help refugees and displaced persons worldwide. We provide life-saving assistance to victims of conflict, violence, or natural disasters.
How we work
Aid is increasingly provided by our local partners. In many places, in the most complex emergency situations, local organisations deliver the most effective and efficient aid. Local partner organizations are often better positioned to provide assistance to people who are difficult to reach. They know the environment, speak the language, understand the needs and can quickly adjust. The Netherlands Refugee Foundation helps to unlock local potential and deliver aid tailored to local needs and circumstances.
