Does CRS plan to stay in affected areas after initial relief efforts are completed?
Recovery from an emergency of this magnitude will take years. CRS focuses on long-term recovery and rehabilitation after any natural or man-made disaster. By doing so, we provide survivors with the tools and capacity to help rebuild their own lives. In turn, this enables them to become more self-sufficient and ensures they have an opportunity to realize their full potential. Our programs are now transitioning from recovery to the rehabilitation phase.
