Christian Relief Services has long believed that, as citizens of the wider world, we have an obligation to help others all across the world, not just here in the United States. Most countries have standards of living far below what is enjoyed in the United States. Christian Relief Services, for over 33 years, has worked to raise the standard of living in other countries, primarily in Africa, but also in Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, and Lithuania. We do this by through our project Bread and Water for Africa®; by supporting grassroots initiatives and hospitals by providing medicine, medical supplies, clean water, education, vocational training, literacy and agricultural assistance.
