Episcopal Relief & Development addresses the root causes of poverty by creating income-earning opportunities for families. 

  • We provide micro-finance opportunities, including savings and credit circles that allow individuals and groups to start or expand small businesses and cooperatives.
  • We supply tools, equipment and other resources to increase the value of products and improve access to markets.
  • We train people to become effective marketers, managers and leaders of their own small businesses. 
  • We ensure that traditionally marginalized and vulnerable groups—such as girls and women, people living with HIV/AIDS and other disabilities, and children orphaned by AIDS—receive education and tools to support themselves.
