With your gift, families across the Middle East will continue to receive vital relief and care as they seek refuge and relief ➡️ brnw.ch/21x0uOT.
Working with Caritas Lebanon and other local partners, CRS is providing emergency supplies to families in shelters—including hot meals, water, blankets, mattresses and other essential items—while assessing how best to support communities in the days and weeks ahead.
Roads are crowded as people flee with only what they can carry, and communities are struggling to absorb the growing number of displaced families. Catholic Relief Services and our partners remain on the ground, responding.
Lebanon is already feeling the impact of the Middle East crisis. Families are seeking safety wherever they can. Schools, community centers and public buildings have been transformed into makeshift shelters.
Our longstanding presence across the region allows us to quickly adapt and mobilize in a sensitive, complex and rapidly changing context.
Your prayers and support will make so much difference. Please give a vital gift today! brnw.ch/21x0spR. (3/3)

Supported by the Walmart Foundation, this partnership is helping farmers thrive while promoting sustainability.
In Honduras, the El Coyol Habanero Pepper Producers Association is proving that agriculture can drive innovation and growth. Through Isidro LEAP, 146 producers are learning Water Smart Agriculture techniques, restoring soils, and building stronger businesses.
This work is supported by the Walmart Foundation and Catholic Relief Services. Together, we’re building resilience and shared prosperity.
💬“With the support of Isidro LEAP, we’re making timely decisions to consolidate our growth.” – Rodolfo Benítez, ASOPROCHAC
💬“We’re proud to know that sustainable agriculture can also mean better yields and profitability for our families.” – Gerson Hernández

So when Amina Bukar was selected as a Lead Mother, she embraced the responsibility with joy. Already known as a long‑standing women’s leader in her community, Amina has always been a source of strength, advice, and hope for the women around her.
Being a Lead Mother is no small role. These women host weekly counseling sessions for other mothers, demonstrate how to prepare Tom Brown, a locally made, nutrient‑dense puree commonly given to malnourished children to support recovery and improve nutrition.
One of the most effective ways to support good nutrition for mothers and children is by partnering with trusted community leaders. In many of our project communities across Nigeria, women look to Lead Mothers for guidance and practical support.
