Act to Establish the Liberia National Red Cross Society

This foundational legislation officially establishes the Liberia National Red Cross Society (LNRCS) as a corporate entity with a humanitarian mission to prevent and alleviate suffering with impartiality. The Act defines the Society’s legal status, outlines its objectives, and specifies its adherence to the Geneva Conventions and the principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. It also includes regulations on the use and protection of the Red Cross emblem and emphasizes the Society's collaboration with government and international partners in delivering humanitarian services.

About Us

The Liberia National Red Cross Society is the single largest national humanitarian organization in Liberia. It is a Voluntary Humanitarian Organization and an auxiliary to the public authorities and the Government, delivering services to the most vulnerable in emergency, including disasters, conflict, civil strife, ill-health and contextual social issues. The Liberian Red Cross is represented in each of the fifteen counties by a chapter and in the districts by a branch, from which we are able to reach regional and remote communities.
