Introduction to Community Relief Services (CRS)
Community Relief Services (CRS) is a nonprofit and non-governmental organization registered under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860. CRS was established on 19th June 2019 by a group of young development professionals, humanitarian actors, and social workers with experience in philanthropy and charity. They recognized the need to mobilize resources, engage communities, and address both basic and strategic needs, empowering them socio-economically towards resilience, climate-friendly actions, and sustainable development.
CRS believes in social mobilization, gender sensitization, and community empowerment. The organization discourages gender-based violence and discrimination and promotes democratic values, accountability, and transparency. CRS works using participatory and rights-based approaches to improve living standards, reduce poverty, and develop capacities for communities in Pakistan.
