HELPING VULNERABLE CHILDREN MEET THEIR FULL POTENTIAL

Our Values

We adapt to the needs of children & their communities

We understand needs vary from family to family

We support evidence driven program design

We create geographically appropriate multi-sectorial programming

Working through a lens of integral human development— CRS views each child holistically and works through indigenous structures to insure that all child specific programming is adapted to the cultural context in which children live.

CRS’s work with vulnerable children centers around the PEPFAR recommended guidelines for program design. Our programs center around eight key areas: household economic strengthening, social protection, education, health and nutrition, psychosocial care and support, child protection, legal protection, and capacity building.
