The Belize Red Cross Society was legally recognized in Belize as a voluntary aid organization, auxiliary to the Government in all humanitarian fields, on August 18th 1983. However history documents activities in Belize began when the known British Honduras Branch of the British Red Cross began work in 1914 as part of World War one support from western hemispheric countries and territories. In April 1950 the Belize Red Cross Movement was under the leadership of the President of 20 years, Belizean Sir Wilson McMillan.
Today the Belize Red Cross is housed in its headquarters at #1 Gabourel Lane, Belize City and has branches in each district town, Belmopan and San Pedro.
Over the years the Belize Red Cross has been at the forefront of responding to numerous events that have affected many communities throughout Belize. The staff and volunteers of the Belize Red Cross have responded to hurricanes, floods, fires, diseases, HIV awareness programs, relief and rehabilitation of victims, as well as special activities focusing on the needy, the elderly and children.
