Christian Relief Services has long believed that, as citizens of the wider word, we have a moral obligation to help others all across the world, not just here in United States of America. Most countries have standards of living far below what is enjoyed in the United States. Christian Relief Services, for over 20 years, has worked to raise the standard of living in other countries, primarily in Africa, but also in Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Lithuania, and the Czech Republic . We do this by supporting grassroots initiatives and hospitals by promoting literacy and providing food, medicine, medical supplies, medical re-agents, clean water, education, vocational training, and agricultural assistance.

Christian Relief Services has long believed that as citizens of the wider world we have a duty to help others all across the globe, not just here in America. Christian Relief Services, for over 25 years, has worked to raise the standard of living in other countries, primarily in Africa. In partnership with our project, Bread and Water for Africa®, we have been promoting positive, long-term change by supporting grassroots initiatives for self-sufficiency, health and education since 1986. In 2010, we assisted the needy in seven African countries through locally supported initiatives and hospitals by providing medicines, medical supplies, clean water, education, vocational training, literacy and agricultural assistance. Christian Relief Services also provided earthquake relief efforts in Haiti.
