What You Can Do.

The ISS is an independent, non-political, non-religious organisation providing direct help wherever there are students in need.

The Origin of ISS.—After World War I to rehabilitate student life. European Student Relief was created. It distributed material and intellectual relief, gave medical aid, and by a vigorous programmer of self-help and mutual aid, encouraged all efforts on the part of the students to help themselves.

In 1926, the International fellowship which had developed during this period, resulted in the setting up of the International Student Service.

The Period Between the Wars.—The relief programmer developed along three lines: International Relief, Education and Research.

During World War II and After.—Various organisations joined with ISS to form the World Student Relief Committee.
