UCRI brings young people together to support children facing hardship through food, educational supplies, fundraising, and awareness.
Our mission
Provide immediate and lasting support to children affected by hardships that threaten their well-being, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or religion.
Our vision
UCRI envisions a world where childhood is protected from poverty and hardship, and where a student-led network of compassion helps more young people become thoughtful advocates for humanitarian relief.
The work begins with practical action, honest records, and respect for the people each project is meant to serve.
