Thank you to IRC contributions to help others!
We are happy to announce a monetary contribution to the International Rescue Committee (IRC) to help people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover and regain control of their future. For over 83 years, IRC has responded to the world’s worst humanitarian crises, helping to restore health, safety, education, economic well-being and power to people devastated by conflict and disaster. Thank you IRC staff around the global for all of your efforts to help make this world better! At BEZA.NET, helping others is a vital part of our philosophy. Every day, we work hard investing resources in the areas most important to our business, customers and our communities. We salute all of the people at IRC for their continued care and sacrifice to help children and their families devastated by conflict and disaster of no fault of their own.
