Lutheran World Relief, founded in 1945 by Lutherans in the U.S., is an international aid and development organization that partners with communities to help them develop stable and productive economies, improve resilience in the face of climate change, and respond to natural disasters and humanitarian crises. They work in various regions around the world, including East Africa, West Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America, focusing on rural economies and livelihoods, environmental sustainability, and humanitarian assistance.
Through their programs, Lutheran World Relief promotes sustainable farming practices, provides assistance in times of natural disasters and complex crises, and supports communities in creating jobs and developing inclusive and resilient economies rooted in agriculture. They also engage volunteers to make quilts and kits of care, which are tangible expressions of love and support for those in need. Lutheran World Relief is committed to ending poverty, suffering, and injustice, and is part of the Corus International family, a group of global leaders dedicated to this mission.
