CWS - Church World Service (HQ)

Founded in 1946, Church World Service is a cooperative ministry of 35 Protestant, Orthodox, and Anglican denominations, providing sustainable self-help and development, disaster relief, and refugee assistance in some 80 countries.

Church World Service is a faith-based organization transforming communities around the globe through just and sustainable responses to hunger, poverty, displacement and disaster.

The cycle of poverty can end. Empowering vulnerable women, men and children to grow their own potential is key. We work with communities to identify their various needs and accompany them as they craft and maintain sustainable, local solutions. While a CWS program may be classified as ‘food security,’ the overall focus is much broader than one particular issue.

Our global development programs turn potential into reality in a continuum of care. One community, one family, one precious child at a time. Join us.
