Joint Distribution Committee

JDC is the largest international Jewish humanitarian aid organization in the world today. This incredibly effective and historical 96 year old NGO works in 70 countries from Albania to Ukraine to achieve «the three Rs»: Rescue, Relief and Renewal.
1. Rescue Jews from persecution
2. Aid both Jews and Non-​Jews in crisis by providing disaster relief (e.g., Haiti) and development assistance (e.g., Ethiopia)
3. Ensure a Jewish future through renewal of Jewish community life
The majority of beneficiaries by program area are the elderly (43%) and children (18%) who receive welfare services targeting those two groups specifically.
A truly incredible organization that continues its tradition of aid by helping hundreds of thousands of people, around the globe, every year.
