As the leading non-governmental humanitarian organization, the Society works to ameliorate the suffering of the most vulnerable people in distress without discrimination of nationality, race, religious belief, class, or political opinion. The main activities of the Society are relief work during and after conflict, disaster relief and auxiliary health and welfare services, which include a wide range of activities for the less privileged and marginalized people in both urban and rural areas. The Society responds and rapidly gains on-site access to the most susceptible when an unexpected national disaster occurs.
