IRFF’s work has covered many areas of social concern. Major projects, though, have emphasized the areas of (a) healthcare and nutrition, (b) education – including general literacy, education, vocational and agricultural education, and (c) immediate relief for catastrophic events. IRFF has also sponsored seminars, public information programs and training sessions to educate the public about humanitarian needs, the reality of relief work worldwide, and how to develop a service-minded program in one’s own community.

Educational Programs

To provide education for disadvantaged and illiterate children suffering from poverty is to give them the tools to build a productive, self-reliant life. Education is a long-term effort, an unconditional service that will enable people to contribute meaningfully to the progress of their community. IRFF has supported and initiated schools and projects in different Asian countries as well as different parts of the world through continental chapters.

Medical Programs

IRFF medical teams are mobilized to work in emergency situations, to alleviate immediate suffering and to lay a foundation of preventive health education. Although IRFF did work in the refugee camps and famine areas that attracted media major attention, IRFF’s main focus is on improving the standard of health care through educating local groups on nutrition, hygiene and sanitation. These low-profile activities have a great impact in improving health conditions of the people year after year.

Volunteers and Youth Camps

The hope for a peaceful world can be realized if humanity can overcome conflicts between religions, race and cultures.The Religious Youth Service (RYS)  addresses these problems in a unique and creative way. IRFF has been cooperating with the RYS since 1986, by sponsoring and co-participating in 35 of the 100 international, local and regional projects done by the RYS. On this foundation, IRFF has started to organize Youth Volunteer Camps under the theme of ” The Culture of Peace ” and in this field, IRFF Europe start in 2005 a partnership with Service For Peace . Most recently IRFF initiated the “Family and Service Project” on the theme “Culture of Peace through a Culture of Heart”. Our service projects stress the importance of cooperative efforts for sustained long-term development. We seek to stimulate individuals and communities by offering a vision of public welfare arising from self-reliance and ethical action.

Service and volunteer program

A distinguishing point of IRFF today is its service learning and volunteer programs. Organizing adolescents, young adults and adults, IRFF has developed numerous projects through which volunteers can give of themselves to help others. Through an international learning component, the volunteers also develop their own character. They learn skills and gain an awareness of what they can offer to genuinely serve others.

IRFF also believes quite strongly in volunteer youth service programs. While,IRFF was one of the founding parents of the Religious Youth Service(RYS),

it continues this tradition by arranging service projects for teenagers and young adults. During the summer of 1995,IRFF coordinated the placement of over 140 America university students as volunteers for more than 30 volunteer agencies in six majo U.S. cities for 6 weeks volunteer.

IRFF has been able to use the Fish Protein Concentrate(FPC) in several locations Worldwide. The first use was in a Rwandan refugee camp in the fall of 1994.

In April of 1995, IRFF supported a special Religious Youth Service project in Croatia by providing over 7 tons of the Fish Protein Concentrate which was then sent to varazdin in Croatia which then distributed it to help feed over 1500 people daily over 5 month period. Since these initial sites, the Fish Concentrate has been used in Albania , Afghanaistan , Russia , and Ghana .

Development Assistance

Severe famine and hunger-related problems worldwide are the primary cause of death and poor health among children in the developing nations. External assistance in the form of food aid will never solve the recurring cycle of poverty. IRFF fosters long-term development through sustainable efforts in agricultural education. These training programs instruct young persons in appropriate technologies and methods that fit the local situation and resources.
