Core Areas

Episcopal Relief & Development works closely with Church partners and local organizations in almost 40 countries worldwide, creating long-term, local strategies to address global challenges.

Our programs center around four core areas to reduce poverty, hunger and disease and create stronger, more resilient communities after disasters.
