TIMOR LESTE RED CROSS SOCIETY
Formed in 2000, Cruz Vermelha de Timor-Leste (CVTL), the Red Cross of Timor-Leste, is one of the youngest Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in the world.
CVTL’s vision is to save lives and improve the quality of life of the most vulnerable people. It does this through responding to disasters, providing first aid and basic health services, supporting water and sanitation services, HIV/AIDS prevention, tracing and other activities. The society’s work is guided by its Strategic Plan for 2015-2019.
CVTL, like all Red Cross and Red Crescent societies, recruits volunteers from local communities to deliver most services.
