Association of the Dutch Red Cross | Vereniging het Nederlandse Rode Kruis

The Netherlands Red Cross helps people in need during emergencies, conflicts and disasters. We focus on emergency response, volunteer assistance, first aid at events, first aid training, and assisted self-reliance. We also work on ‘tracing and support’ by restoring family links, provide war aftercare and we support victims of human trafficking. Our final focus is on increasing respect and willingness to help.

We follow the seven fundamental principles of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. We help people in need without discriminating based on nationality, race, religious beliefs, gender, class or political opinion. Our seven principles are at the core of our approach to helping people in need and guide us in our humanitarian work: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality.
