The Red Cross is in almost every country around the world. The world Red Cross organizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent（新月）. All of these agencies（机构）share a common goal of trying to help people in need. The idea of forming such an organization started with Jean Henri Dunant.

The American Red Cross was set up by Clara Barton in 1881.
