The Palau Red Cross Society (PRCS) is committed to helping communities stay safe, healthy, and prepared. From lifesaving training to disaster support, youth programs, and community outreach, PRCS offers services that strengthen the well-being of people across Palau.
Service to Armed Forces (SAF)
The Palau Red Cross Society (PRCS) supports families of service members by facilitating emergency communication through the American Red Cross.
When a family has a serious situation—such as a critical illness involving an immediate family member—PRCS assists by processing official Red Cross emergency communication forms.

Why “Sengsongd”?
From the Palauan proverb:
A sengsongd a mrecherchii a klengoes — “Small twigs can bring a soup to a boil.”
Even small contributions—through purchases or donations—create meaningful impact in the community.
