Programs

Over a billion people in our world struggle to live on less than $1 each day. Few children in the developing world are able to go to school. Without education they remain caught in the same cycle of poverty as their parents, struggling against unemployment, homelessness and the constant threat of hunger, malnutrition and disease.

When natural disaster and emergency crises strike, the challenges of poverty are magnified for these children and their families. Finding food each day is even more difficult when a flood or hurricane wipes out a village’s crops. Parents frantically search for emergency shelter for their families after seeing their homes completely destroyed. Children and their parents seek any kind of work – but when a country is trying to rebuild after a disaster, work is almost impossible to find.

ERDO’s programs reach out to people during these difficult times of need. Following Jesus’ example, we provide care where there is poverty, hunger, disaster and injustice. We become Christ’s hand and feet, working alongside courageous men, women and children who struggle to survive, doing good as we bring hope to those in need.

All statistics have been recorded from the following web pages: Unicef, WHO, The United Nations, UNAIDS.
