We contribute to the development of policy aiming to protect the rights of the displaced and we call for increased humanitarian funding and engagement on processes that will generate structural changes in protection and assistance in the region.
NRC has delivered humanitarian and protection assistance to vulnerable populations in Latin America for the past two decades. We have teams in the areas of education, information, counselling and legal assistance (ICLA), livelihoods and food security, protection from violence, shelter and settlements and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). NRC provides services and assistance to vulnerable populations affected by violence and displacement in Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico (NCA&M). NRC works in collaboration with various other stakeholders, including local, national, and international organizations.
In the past years, the populations of Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala (often referred to as the countries of North of Central America, NCA) have been affected by devastating violence. The number of displaced people has been growing exponentially and every year hundreds of thousands become internally displaced or flee their country trying to make their way to the US or Mexico and often get stuck in between or are sent back to their country, where they face additional challenges. On top of this, the number of refugees and migrants in need of international protection has been increasing substantially in all Latin America. The recent context developments and changes of US migration policies are resulting in a high number of migrants and asylum seekers in need of humanitarian assistance.
NRC North of Central America and Mexico (NCA&M) Country Office (CO) was established in January 2021 and NRC currently operates in four countries: in Honduras, in El Salvador, in Guatemala and in Mexico.
We are looking for people who are passionate about helping refugees and people forced to flee. Are you one of those people? If you are, NRC offers you the opportunity to:
- do demanding and professional work, often in challenging contexts.
- join a work culture that empowers every employee to share ideas and take responsibility.
