The Nestorian Relief Society

The Nestorian Relief Society was an organization established by the Church of the East (often called Nestorian) to provide aid and support to its members and communities, particularly during times of hardship such as famine, conflict, or displacement. Operating primarily in the Middle East and Asia, it focused on humanitarian efforts like distributing food, shelter, and medical care. The society also promoted social welfare, education, and religious solidarity among its members, strengthening their communal bonds and resilience amid challenging circumstances.
