Internationally, the Red Cross has almost 100 million members and volunteers.

This makes us one of the largest families on the planet. We work to improve sanitation and health standards for millions of needy and crisis-stricken people all over the world.

In Timor Leste, our main focuses are water and sanitation, health education, disaster management, youth programmes, information dissemination and missing persons tracing. These focuses are supported by finance, organisational development and logistics departments.

 If you have the desire to improve the lives of vulnerable people and strengthen developing communities, we are looking for committed, enthusiastic individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Whoever you are, wherever you come from, and whatever your skills and experiences, we would love to have you on board.
