We provide needs-based support to those most affected by crises, primarily refugees, internally displaced people, and those trapped in dangerous and hard-to-reach areas. We provide immediate assistance in emergencies and continue to support people after crises to help them rebuild their lives. Over the years, the Estonian Refugee Council has supported more than 470,000 people.

Today, Estonian Refugee Council is the largest humanitarian organisation in the Baltic region, employing over 100 people who are dedicated every day to protecting the rights, wellbeing, and dignity of crisis-affected people.

We are a rights-based organisation guided by the principles of humanity, neutrality, independence, and impartiality. These principles ensure that our assistance is based on real needs, remains unbiased, and respects the rights and dignity of every person. Estonian Refugee Council is certified by the European Commission as an organisation following the humanitarian principles and project management standards.
