About CRS

Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is the official international humanitarian agency of the Catholic community in the United States. CRS works to save, protect, and transform lives in need in more than 100 countries, without regard to race, religion, or nationality. CRS’ relief and development work is accomplished through programs in emergency response, HIV, health, agriculture, education, microfinance, and peacebuilding.

Catholic Relief Services began working in Zambia in 2000 at the invitation of the Zambian Conference of Catholic Bishops. Our initial work included strengthening and enhancing partnerships with the local church and development partners and supporting community development initiatives in Zambia. What had started as a small, privately funded program has grown into a complex country program in response to the variety of shocks over the past two decades. CRS Zambia now implements programs in partnership with a variety of stakeholders, including the local church, faith-based institutions, and local organizations, and in collaboration with the government of Zambia.
