South African Red Cross

The South African Red Cross Society (SARCS) is a member organisation of the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) which is the largest volunteer driven organisation in the world. Humanitarian services in South Africa can be traced back to the late 1800’s. SARCS being an Auxiliary to the South African Government allows us to be first responders during natural disasters and serve the vulnerable in South Africa by the programmes we offer: Health and Care Education, Disaster Preparedness and Response Management, Humanitarian Values and Organisational Development.

Our core work focuses significantly on health and care services in addition to community-led disaster risk preparedness and reduction priorities. SARCS also implements further programs that are of international significance, that is, the restoration of Family Links, Dissemination of the Fundamental Principles and International Humanitarian Law (IHL). These programs are crucial if the SA Red Cross Society is to be responsible during peacetime and times of conflict.

The Red Cross is guided by seven fundamental principles: Humanity, Impartiality Independence, Unity, Voluntary Service, Neutrality and Universality.

Over and above this, the society offers training that is approved by the Department of Labour, HWSETA such as; CPR, First Aid Level 1,2,3, Occupational Health and Safety, Home Based Care, only to mention a few. SARCS recruits, trains and deploys volunteers to attend to situations where and when there is a need.
