Crisis Aid International

Humble Beginnings: In September 2000, Pat Bradley witnessed the results of the genocide in South Sudan first hand and knew at that moment “doing nothing” was not an option. His helplessness turned into action as he returned to the United States to raise money for starving people in “no-go zones” where starvation, disease and danger are a part of everyday life. He soon returned to provide two pound bags of rice to Sudanese people in need. A humble beginning turned into life-saving efforts for people in crisis living in eleven different countries. In 2002 Crisis Aid was officially incorporated. The agency currently concentrates efforts in East Africa and the United States. Partners Making an Impact: Once Pat took that first step to “do something”, others quickly joined enabling Crisis Aid to provide many resources over the years. Together with our partners, we have: • Provided 10.4 million pounds of food to 1.6 million adults and malnourished children • Rescued more than 500 girls from the atrocities of a life of perpetual sex trafficking (75 Americans) • Established Children's Home for Orphans and Vulnerable Girls • Provided Child Sponsorship for more than 100 Orphans & Vulnerable Children • Opened first Midwest US Refuge Home for Trafficked Girls; More than 60 American girls served • Provided medical care to more than 350,000 people • Completed 25 Water Wells to prevent water-borne diseases • Provided food assistance to 1,000 people per month locally in St. Louis, MO The greatest thing we have ever provided to people all over the globe is HOPE!
