CRY is a God-driven response to the injustice that so many children face daily. Here's why our work is crucial more than ever:

Beyond stats, action.

Countless children don't have enough food, a safe home, access to education, or the emotional support each child needs.

For many, poverty, conflict, and displacement are not distant crises but daily realities, forcing children to carry burdens no child should ever bear.

Separated from their families, exposed to violence, and denied opportunities because of the situation they were born into, these children face challenges that shape their entire futures.

CRY helps the children who need it most to thrive and rise beyond poverty. Here’s why your support matters.

• In 2026, CRY supports children in (or from) nine of the ten countries identified by the International Rescue Committee as most at risk of humanitarian crisis, as well as another 20+ additional high-need countries.

• Nearly 90% of children living in extreme poverty are in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia (UN), where most of CRY’s partnership work is focused.

• CRY supports children in conflict-affected countries, including (yet not limited to) Afghanistan, DRC, South Sudan, Nigeria, Haiti, West Bank & Gaza, and Ukraine, providing care, relief, and hope amid violence and displacement.

With the right care, and relief these young can be given the chance to grow, dream, and build a better tomorrow - beyond poverty. 

That's where we come in. You can too.
