Relief International is a non-profit organization that works with communities affected by conflict, climate change, and disasters to save lives, build resilience, and promote long-term health and wellbeing. It pursues these goals through partnerships and field programs that address urgent needs while strengthening health systems and local capacities. Based in Washington, DC, the organization maintains a sizeable, internationally oriented footprint and operates within the humanitarian sector with a focus on health-related relief, resilience-building, and disaster response. Its work targets communities facing crisis and the local partners who implement health and resilience initiatives in those settings. Relief International collaborates with other organizations to improve access to quality medical products and to advance procurement and compliance in crisis contexts. A governance development occurred in December 2024 with the appointment of Awele Okigbo to the Board of Directors. The organization has also engaged in partnerships with groups such as Quamed and Rotary International to pursue coordinated humanitarian activities in diverse regions.
