Founded by Lutherans in the United States at the end of World War II, Lutheran World Relief is grounded in Lutheran theology and builds on decades of experience. It tackles global poverty by helping people adapt to the challenges threatening their livelihoods and well-being.
We work with people based on need, regardless of race, religion, or nationality, and we do not evangelize. We provide aid in emergencies and help families restore their lives.
We partner with communities to build and grow rural economies. We break the cycle of poverty so families and communities can thrive.
