Relief International relieves poverty and restores dignity to the world’s most vulnerable communities.
RI partners with vulnerable communities to deliver education, health, water and sanitation, and economic opportunities. The result: communities gain long-term well-being and dignity.
Every year, our programs educate children, feed families and create livelihoods across Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Each community has a story.
We have a distinct approach. We call it The RI Way. That means empowering communities to find and implement the solutions that work best for them.
