Answering the Call to Serve
At Catholic Relief Services, we have bold aspirations: to save lives and alleviate suffering; to accelerate the end of poverty, hunger and preventable disease; to cultivate just and peaceful societies. But we cannot reach these aspirations in isolation—we know that working together yields bigger and better results than going it alone. Our mission is a faith-filled call to serve others through partnerships and alliances that radically improve the lives of the people we serve, advancing immediate and enduring change on a global scale.
Working in 121 countries with 1,883 local partners to help 210 million people improve their lives.*
