Die internationale Rotkreuz- und Rothalbmondbewegung ist mit 186 Nationalen Gesellschaften die größte humanitäre Organisation der Welt. Das Deutsche Rote Kreuz ist Teil dieser weltweiten Gemeinschaft, die seit über 140 Jahren umfassend Hilfe leistet für Menschen in Konfliktsituationen, bei Katastrophen und gesundheitlichen oder sozialen Notlagen, allein nach dem Maß der Not. Im Zeichen der Menschlichkeit setzen wir uns für das Leben, die Gesundheit, das Wohlergehen, den Schutz, das friedliche Zusammenleben und die Würde aller Menschen ein. Unsere Idee wird weltweit von über 100 Millionen freiwilligen Helfern und Mitgliedern getragen. Allein in Deutschland engagieren sich circa vier Millionen Mitglieder.
