Z Jean Henri Dunant 1910 ) Category ( Humanitarians suggest a correction Henry Dunant was born Jean Henri Dunant in 1828, Geneva, Switzerland. He is best known for writing a book that inspired the creation and development of the International Committee of the Red Cross, and subsequently being awarded the first Nobel Peace Prize, along with Frederic Passy. Despite his strong and enduring interest in helping others, Dunant was born into a family of prominent businessmen. His family was wealthy and influential, but they used their power and money to help others, and so Dunant grew up in that tradition. His parents worked hard to help orphans, released convicts, and the poor and sick. As a teenager, Durant founded what was known as the "Thursday Association," a group of young men who met to read the Bible and assist with the needs of the poor. Then, in 1852, he founded the Geneva chapter of the YMCA. Three years later he traveled to Paris to assist in founding the YMCA chapter there. He stayed so busy helping others that he neglected his studies, and was asked to leave college. He went to work at a Swiss bank instead. After a visit to Algeria, Tunisia, and Sicily, he wrote his first book, which was part travel guide, part treatise on the treatment of the poor and sick. Upon his return to his homeland, he began working on developing a company that would help foreign colonies to develop business and industry. When local officials in those colonies refused to cooperate with him, he appealed to Napoleon III, who agreed to assist. Dunant later wrote a book in honor of the Emperor. He arrived in Solferino to present the book himself, and arrived on the day of a great battle, which resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries.

Born in Geneva into an affluent family whoconsidered religion and charity a priority, Dunant's father and grandfather held important positions in Geneva, including member of Geneva's governing council, director of a Geneva hospital and mayor of nearby Avully. Dunant began shaping his future with early interests in finance, religion, and public service. A student of economics during the day, he dedicated his evenings to the poor and sick as a representative of the League of Alms. Following in the footsteps of his Calvinist family, Dunant attended church regularlyon Sundays, and then brought the message of religion to a local prison. He pursued his religion further when Dunant joined the Réveil (Awakening)evangelical movement at the age of 18. Eager to become a catalyst for new ideas, Dunant began to support the abolition of slavery after meeting American writer Harriet Beecher Stowe in 1853, and he became active in the newly formedYoung Men's Christian Academy (YMCA), which opened its first European branchin Paris in 1855.

Dunant, Jean Henri Jean Henri Dunant's life (May 8, 1828-October 30, 1910) is a study in contrasts. He was born into a wealthy home but died in a hospice; in middle age he juxtaposed great fame with total obscurity, and success in business with bankruptcy; in old age he was virtually exiled from the Genevan society of which he had once been an ornament and died in a lonely room, leaving a bitter testament. His passionate humanitarianism was the one constant in his life, and the Red Cross his living monument. The Geneva household into which Henri Dunant was born was religious, humanitarian, and civic-minded. In the first part of his life Dunant engaged quite seriously in religious activities and for a while in full-time work as a representative of the Young Men's Christian Association, traveling in France, Belgium, and Holland. When he was twenty-six, Dunant entered the business world as a representative of the Compagnie genevoise des Colonies de Sétif in North Africa and Sicily. In 1858 he published his first book, Notice sur la Régence de Tunis [An Account of the Regency in Tunis], made up for the most part of travel observations but containing a remarkable chapter, a long one, which he published separately in 1863, entitled L'Esclavage chez les musulmans et aux Etats-Unis d'Amérique [Slavery among the Mohammedans and in the United States of America].
