World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day
World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day is celebrated every year on May 8 to commemorate the birth anniversary of Henry Dunant, the founder of the Red Cross and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Born on May 8, 1828, in Geneva, Dunant was also the first recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.
This day honors the principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and recognizes the invaluable humanitarian efforts made by its volunteers and members around the world. It is also a day to raise awareness about the plight of people suffering from food shortages, natural disasters, armed conflicts, and epidemics.
World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day is dedicated to supporting vulnerable communities by providing basic amenities, medical assistance, and humanitarian aid. Both governmental and private organizations actively participate in relief efforts to help those in need during times of crisis.
World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day 2025: Theme"Keeping Humanity Alive" is a call to action to spread kindness, peace, and optimism while also paying homage to those working on the ground.
