Who We Are

At IREX we strive for a more just, prosperous, and inclusive world—where individuals reach their full potential, governments serve their people and communities thrive. 

But around the globe, persistent poverty, repression, and injustice prevent too many people form achieving their full potential.  To address these problems, we focus on people, not on vaccines, roads, or wells. We support individuals and institutions to create change in their own communities—and to create person to person bridges between nations. 

IREX works with partners in more than 100 countries in four areas essential to progress: cultivating leaders, empowering youth, strengthening institutions, and increasing access to quality education and information.

Ukraine Veteran Reintegration and Rehabilitation Program (UVRR) is a continuation of IREX’s, initiative launched in 2019, which aims to create the necessary support systems for female and male veterans to enable them to realize their full potential and contribute to Ukraine’s recovery.
