Episcopal Relief and Development  (ERD)

Saves lives after an emergency

Disasters - whether man-made or natural - happen all the time. When they strike, we help people by supplying food, water, and medicine immediately. We prevent vulnerable people from further suffering, especially women, children, and the elderly.We help communities rebuild when the crisis is over

Hurricanes, earthquakes, and other catastrophes leave people with nothing.  We work hand-in hand with local communities to build new homes, plant crops, create clean water systems, construct clinics and schools, and offer critical post trauma counseling.

ERD creates opportunities for people living in poverty

In many places in the world, people can't feed their families or give them basic health care. Through our food security and primary health care program, we provide farming and business training, health care services, and HIV/AIDS programs in communities where families are struggling to survive. We give people the tools to earn an income and create opportunities for their children.
