183rd IFRC Member

Cruz Vermelha de Timor-Leste is one of the youngest Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in the world. At its General Assembly in Seoul, South Korea on November 11, 2005, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies formally declared CVTL as its 183rd member.

Red Cross. Saving Lives, Improving Lives.

Cruz Vermelha de Timor-Leste (known as CVTL) was established in 2002.
 
CVTL is a Timorese organisation, but part of an international movement. It was recognised by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in 2005.
 
CVTL's vision is to save lives and improve the quality of life of vulnerable people and its work includes:
  • Disaster Management
  • Dissemination
  • Health
  • Tracing
  • Youth
CVTL, like all Red Cross and Red Crescent societies, recruits volunteers from local communities to deliver most services. CVTL works in partnership with communities. 
 
CVTL has branches in each of the 13 districts of Timor-Leste, and its national headquarters are in the capital, Dili.
 
CVTL is governed by its members who elect 13 branch boards and one national governing board.
