How to help the Mexican Red Cross?
He International Committee of the Red Cross was founded in 1863 with the aim of providing help to people affected by conflicts and armed violence, while promoting laws that protect victims of war.
And in the case of Mexico, Our country joined this network in February 1910 via a decree of Porfirio Díaz in which he officially recognized the Mexican Red Cross as the Mexican Association of the Red Cross.
From that year, the Mexican Red Cross began to operate with a group of volunteers who even intervened in the Mexican Revolutionhelping injured people.
And from that moment the help has not stopped, because the Mexican Red Cross has been in emergency work due to natural disasters —the 2017 earthquakes, for example, or internationally: in the 2023 earthquake in Turkey— or everyday things like rescuing and caring for people like you and me.
So how can we help the Mexican Red Cross? Easy: the ways of help range from donations to volunteering.
