Episcopal Relief and Development

Episcopal Relief and Development is a compassionate response of the Episcopal Church to human suffering in the world. Hearing God’s call to seek and serve Christ in all persons and to respect the dignity of every human being, Episcopal Relief and Development serves to bring together the generosity of Episcopalians and others with the needs of the world.

ERD provides emergency assistance after disasters, rebuild communities, and help children and families climb out of poverty.

When disaster strikes, ERD helps people by supplying food, water, and medicine immediately. They prevent vulnerable people from further suffering, especially women, children, and the elderly. They 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.

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

For more than sixty years, ERD has served the needs of the poor and oppressed at home and in over 100 countries abroad.
