Christian Reformed World Relief Committee

The Christian Reformed World Relief Committee (CRWRC) is a relief, development, and educational ministry of the Christian Reformed Church in North America.
CRWRC partners with local agencies that understand local needs. Together CRWRC and its partners find ways to provide lasting change for people in more than 30 countries around the world.
CRWRC believes that by helping people help themselves the chains of poverty can be stripped away.
CRWRC is driven by the call of Micah 6:8b: “…And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
