All around the world, CRWRC's International Disaster Response
team responds to natural and man-made disasters, bringing relief
and aid to those who need it most. CRWRC works in cooperation with
local and international non- governmental organizations (NGOs) in
order to respond quickly and effectively to the urgent needs of a
community. Local expertise and knowledge provided by partners is
invaluable to the work of CRWRC, especially where there are no
CRWRC community development projects. CRWRC receives significant
financial support through its membership in the Canadian Foodgrains
Bank (CFGB) and from the Canadian International Development Agency
(CIDA).Canadian Foodgrains Bank Canadian International Development
