Comment

The Slovenian Red Cross was founded on 18 June 1944, in the liberated territory of Gradac in Bela Krajina. It is an independent, humanitarian organisation of national import, organised as a single society active in 12 regions with more than 14,000 volunteers. The Slovenian Red Cross carries out a range of tasks under public authorisation, such as organising blood donation, conducting first aid training, providing aid to the socially disadvantaged, and preparing for and responding to natural and man-made disasters. It acts in accordance with the seven fundamental principles of the Red Cross movement: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality. It is a member of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and is dedicated to using the power of humanity to improve the lives of vulnerable people, in conjunction with national organisations and other humanitarian, health and social organisations at home and abroad.
 
In its 150 years of history the Slovenian Red Cross has made a significant contribution to improving the quality of life of countless families and individuals in distress, irrespective of race, gender, language, faith or other beliefs.
