Center for Conflict Relief and Reconstruction
 

Projects

War causes suffering on a monumental scale. In the midst of conflict, the CCRR actively seeks to support political, diplomatic and religious solutions to conflict. We also partner with other organizations who provide humanitarian relief to those in greatest need such as war-torn children and families who lack even the most basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter.
