ERDO is monitoring the situation and will be responding in Jamaica, and possibly the surrounding countries, bringing emergency support to families facing tremendous loss.
What We Do
Community Development
Together, we can equip people to care for themselves and their families, generate their own income and break cycles of poverty. Help us provide long-term solutions to create lasting change.
Crisis Response
When an emergency happens, you can help us respond quickly with food, water, sanitation, shelter and household goods. Then, we will work to repair damages and help people get back on their feet.
Child Sponsorship
Give a child an education and provide a brighter future. ChildCARE Plus, ERDO’s child sponsorship program, educates children between ages 0-18, improving their nutrition, healthcare, and so much more.
Give A Child A Future
Through child sponsorship, you can help a child in a developing country reach their full God-given potential. In a meaningful way, you will provide for a child’s practical needs including education, healthcare, nutrition and shelter. By sponsoring a child, you will also care for their spiritual and emotional needs, bringing them into a community where they can grow in every way.
