Introduction

The primary objective of the RFL program is to alleviate the suffering of families by offering a range of services aimed at tracing family members, re-establishing and sustaining communication, reuniting families, and, importantly, determining the fate and location of those who remain missing. This comprehensive program operates globally, providing support to individuals affected by various crises and conflicts.

Our Operational Information
