Mission
Founded more than half a century ago, Lutheran World Relief (LWR) works with partners in 35 countries to help people grow food, improve health, strengthen communities, end conflict, build livelihoods and recover from disasters. Empowered by God's unconditional love in Jesus Christ, LWR envisions a world in which each person and every generation lives in justice, dignity, and peace. LWR partners train local women and men to produce local foods, dig low-cost wells and protect and restore their local environments. Some partners are small village groups on the edge of the Sahara. Others are nationwide programs that may reach across the Andes.
