The Monegasque Red Cross

The Monegasque Red Cross works daily with those who are in difficulty.

Founded on 3rd March 1948 by Prince Louis II, the Monaco Red Cross was recognised in the same year by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). It is one of 192 National Societies of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and observes the seven fundamental principles: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality. The missions of the Monaco Red Cross are to save lives and prepare the population for disasters, to support all people in need without discrimination, and to conduct awarenessraising and preventive actions that are humanitarian in nature. It acts both at national and international level.

The association is constantly evolving with the creation of many sectors which support and accompany people and countries in need.
