  Iran

RI has been present in Iran since the 1990 Roudbar earthquake that took 50,000 lives. Natural disaster has plagued Iran throughout RI’s tenure, including earthquakes in Qazvin, Bam and Zaran. As a result, RI’s projects in Iran have vigilantly addressed the crucial link between disaster relief and long-term development. In response to each disaster, RI has integrated immediate relief needs with sustainable strategies to provide meaningful interventions for the disaster-affected. Exemplifying this approach: in the 2003 Bam earthquake RI distributed food, water, blankets and medicine while also building shelters, schools, community centers, internet facilities, libraries and establishing a successful microcredit program.
