Danish Refugee Council

The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is a humanitarian, non-governmental organization founded in 1956 and headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark. It works globally to support refugees, asylum seekers, and internally displaced people by providing emergency relief, protection services, and long-term solutions such as livelihoods support, education, and community development. Active in more than 40 countries, DRC responds to displacement crises by offering shelter, clean water, food assistance, legal aid, and skills training, while also advocating for the rights of displaced populations. In Uganda, where the country hosts one of the largest refugee populations in Africa, DRC plays a key role in refugee settlements by helping families build shelters, supporting income-generating activities, promoting peaceful coexistence with host communities, and ensuring access to essential services.
