Founded in 1956, the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is Denmark’s largest, and a leading international NGO - one of the few with a specific expertise in forced displacement
In 40 countries 9,000 employees protect, advocate and build sustainable futures for refugees and other displacement affected people and communities
DRC works during displacement at all stages: In the acute crisis, in exile, when settling and integrating in a new place, or upon return
DRC provides protection and life-saving humanitarian assistance
DRC supports displaced persons in becoming self-reliant and included into hosting societies
DRC works with civil society and responsible authorities to promote protection of rights and peaceful coexistence
Our 7,500 volunteers in Denmark make an invaluable difference in integration activities throughout the country.
