About 100 Years Of The Luxembourg Red Cross

Since 1914, the Luxembourg Red Cross has continuously expanded its activities in order to off er as much help as possible to the most vulnerable people, both nationally and internationally.

Therefore, this anniversary is an opportunity for the Red Cross to present its activities to the general public and rally the inhabitants of Luxembourg around the causes it defends. 2014 is also the time to take stock and look back at everything that has been achieved thanks to the involvement of men and women over the past 100 years.

The mission of the Luxembourg Red Cross is to help vulnerable people to live independently and with dignity. By mobilising human solidarity, it acts in an exemplary, effi cient and responsible way to rescue those in distress and prevent situations of material, health and social vulnerability, both in Luxembourg and abroad. The Luxembourg Red Cross acts in accordance with the fundamental principles of the international Red Cross and Red Crescent movement.

Its thousands of volunteers and over 1,700 professionals make it a leading player in the health, social, youth and humanitarian fi elds. The Luxembourg Red Cross is thus involved in activities as diverse as emergency international humanitarian aid, home care, blood transfusions, convalescence, the care of elderly or dependent people in integrated or day centres, social assistance, the care of migrants and refugees, individual help for people in diffi culty, childcare centres and youth centres, or even social and family therapeutic services.
