About us
The Netherlands Refugee Foundation was founded in 1976 to help refugees and displaced people worldwide. We provide life-saving assistance to those affected by conflict, violence, and natural disasters.

How we work
We believe that the most effective and efficient humanitarian aid is provided by people who know the region and its people. That’s why the Netherlands Refugee Foundation partners up with local and community-based organisations. Our support goes far beyond the financing of projects. We listen to our partners, learn from their experience and leverage the knowledge we’ve gathered from other partner organisations and in the past.
Our partnership goes beyond providing humanitarian aid in times of need. Even after the crisis, we support organisations in their growth, so that they can provide even better assistance in future emergencies. We are proud to work with these indispensable local partners and believe they are key to building stronger, more crisis-resilient communities.
