About us
INTERSOS is an international humanitarian organisation, founded in Italy, which operates on the front line in contexts of war, violence, extreme poverty, natural or man-made disasters.
INTERSOS is an independent Organisation, partnering with numerous local associations and organisations as well as with the main European and international institutions and agencies. It is a member of ICVA, VOICE, LINK 2007, and has consultative status in the UN Economic and Social Council and observer status at the International Organisation for Migration.
Always aim to be humanitarian. For 30 years, on the front line, to assist, heal, protect.
Since 1992, our workers have been bringing aid to populations affected by humanitarian crises, with a particular focus on protecting the most vulnerable people, providing medical care, distributing basic necessities, and offering emergency shelter. By providing operational capacity and resources, we help to guarantee fundamental rights such as the right to food, water and health.
We strive to ensure that our humanitarian response is able to reach anyone in a vulnerable and dangerous condition. In parallel, we work to lay the foundations for development processes and, at the same time, raise society’s awareness of humanitarian values, fundamental rights and the dignity of every human being.
