Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross & Red Crescent Movement

The American Red Cross is part of an international network with headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, and societies in more than 175 countries around the world. Begun in 1859 by Henry Dunant, it is unique among voluntary service organizations because it is founded on a set of seven principles which all Red Cross volunteers and paid staff around the world are asked to practice. The seven principles are: HUMANITY - The International red Cross and Red Crescent Movement in dedicated to preventing human suffering wherever it is found. Its purpose is to protect life and health and to ensure respect for the human being. IMPARTIALITY - It does not discriminate concerning nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. It endeavors to relieve the suffering of individuals, being guided solely by their needs, and to give priority to the most urgent cases of distress. NEUTRALITY - It may not take sides in hostilities or engage at any time in controversies of political, racial, religious or ideological nature. INDEPENDENCE - While subject to the laws of its respective countries, it must always maintain its autonomy from the government so that it may be able at all times to act in accordance withe the principles of the Movement. Voluntary Service - It is a voluntary relief movement without any desire for gain. Unity - There can be only one Red Cross or Red Crescent Society in any one country. It must be open to all. It must carry on its humanitarian work throughout its territory. Universality - It is a worldwide institution, in which all National Societies have equal status and share equal responsibilities and duties in helping each other. Mission of the American Red Cross The American Red Cross was founded in the United States by Clara Barton in 1881. In 1905, the United States Congress provided the Red Cross with a charter which mandates that it provide relief to disaster victims and services to the military. Although congressionaly chartered, the American Red Cross is a non-governmental, non profit, humanitarian organization led by volunteers, funded by public donations and guided by the fundamental principles of the International Red Cross Movement to provide relief to victims of disaster and help people prepare for, and respond to emergencies. The Santa Clara Valley Chapter Founded in 1916, the American Red Cross Santa Clara Valley Chapter provides services for the over 1.5 million residents of Santa Clara County in the cities of Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, San Jose, Milpitas, Campbell, Saratoga, Monte Soreno, Los Gatos, Morgan Hill, San Martin, Gilroy, and all unincorporated areas of the county. The Santa Clara Valley Chapter has 979 registered adult volunteers and 680 youth volunteers, who contributed over 49,500 hours of service to the community and are supported by 27 full and part-time paid staff.

Programs and Services Disaster Services Respond

When a disaster strikes, the American Red Cross is on the scene, comforting the victims with food, clothing, shelter and supplies to help the recover.

The First Aid Services Team treated 1,578 patients at 32 different community events throughout Santa Clara Valley. 766 students attended locally developed health and safety courses.

Programs and Services Youth Services Empower

Our 680 youth volunteers provided the American Red Cross Santa Clara Valley Chapter with their time and energy at 79 service events, including First Aid Fun Day and Kid Power which trains elementary school students in the basics of First Aid and CPR. They established and maintained 24 Red Cross Clubs at local high, middle and elementary schools and raised $9,920 for scholarships to the annual Leadership Development Conference for local youth.

International Services Reunite

The American Red Cross International Social Services program links people in our community to their families around the world through the global network of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. Last year, the Santa Clara Valley Chapter caseworkers handled 26 international tracing and/or messaging cases to help reunite or deliver messages to family members separated due to war, civil unrest or disaster.

The American Red Cross keeps military personnel in touch with their families following the death or serious illness of a family member, the birth of a child, or in response to other family crisis. The Santa Clara Valley Chapter served as a liaison between 298 local military personnel and their families delivering emergency family messages. In addition, 17 local military personnel received financial assistance totaling $17,655. Educating the military community on how we can help is a crucial part of our AFES program. The Santa Clara Valley Chapter briefed 442military members through our “Get to Know Us Before You Need Us” program. Historically, Americans have shown their support to our troops serving in times of war by writing letters, mailing care packages, or by showing support for a deployed service member’s family. Our Chapter’s unique Operation Care and Comfort program exists to provide support and comfort to “adopted” units of deployed U.S. military service members serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and conflict regions, by sending care packages containing needed items. Working with our community, we ship to these units on a monthly basis, until they return home. This year, Operation Care and Comfort sent 156,381 pounds of supplies to members of the armed forces stationed overseas.
