Episcopal Relief & Development

We facilitate healthier, more fulfilling lives in communities struggling with hunger, poverty, disaster and disease.

Our work addresses three life-changing priorities to create authentic, lasting results.

Women

Everyone deserves a life free from violence in a society where they are treated with dignity and respect. Only then can communities truly heal and thrive.
