Poverty & basic needs

Give where needed with Catholic Relief Services

Catholic Relief Services is a faith-based international relief and development agency whose concrete programmes — food assistance, water and sanitation, maternal and child health, livelihoods, and disaster response — are delivered to beneficiaries of all faiths. CharityWatch gave it a Top-Rated "A+" grade in April 2025, with 92% of spending going to programmes.

Our take

Faith-based in origin, like Compassion International and World Vision elsewhere on this site, but its concrete programmes are delivered to people of all faiths — the same basis on which those two are already included here. We could not independently load crs.org this round (403 response both times we checked), so the URL reflects the organisation's own published donate address.
