Learn MoreOur Foundation
The Red Cross Red Crescent Movement is guided by seven fundamental principles that define our actions.
To prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found.
No discrimination based on nationality, race, religion, class or political opinions.
Refraining from taking sides in hostilities or engaging in controversies.
Autonomous and independent from governments and institutions.
A voluntary relief movement not prompted by desire for gain.
There can only be one Red Cross or Red Crescent Society in any one country.
A worldwide institution where all Societies have equal status and responsibilities.
At KYU Red Cross we uphold all seven principles in every action we take.
