Working out of a warehouse in Los Angeles, RI sent and distributed food, shelter, blankets and other emergency items to earthquake survivors.Our mission expanded over the following two decades, growing to embrace issues such as poverty, hunger and lack of economic opportunity. In 2009, RI merged with EnterpriseWorks/VITA, an organizational pair with more than 50 years of experience providing relief and supporting robust livelihoods by applying expertise in areas such as irrigation, resource management, communications and entrepreneurship. Programs customized to local needs connected producers to broader markets, applied innovative technologies such as rainwater harvesting, and enabled entrepreneurs to boost their productivity.This merger remains the foundation of RI’s dedication to solutions built on knowledge, expertise and abiding compassion.
