What they do

Catholic Relief Services (CRS) works with governments and partners to strengthen health systems and deliver malaria prevention, diagnosis, and treatment services, particularly for children under five, pregnant women, and underserved populations.1 In 2026, CRS implemented 13 malaria projects across 18 countries, with activities spanning vector control, drug-based prevention, community case management and surveillance, supply-chain management, and multisectoral programming.1 CRS also develops digital tools and technical guidance for malaria campaigns, strengthens local capacity, and supports community engagement and evidence-based approaches to malaria control.1 Headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, its malaria work spans the development and delivery stages.1
