Description of the organization's activities

Canadian Lutheran World Relief (CLWR) provides opportunities for Canadians to respond to national and international needs. CLWR also provides humanitarian assistance to refugees and internally displaced people who have had to leave their homes for a variety of reasons. CLWR is also involved in refugee resettlement and is an agreement holder with the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). CLWR works with refugees and internally displaced people to ensure that their immediate needs are met and support them as they adjust to their new circumstances. The construction of shelters and latrines keeps people safe and healthy. Job training provides new ways of earning an income so people can support themselves and their families. Food assistance helps families meet their food and nutrition needs and cash assistance helps families cover expenses such as rent and healthcare. CLWR's sustainable development projects help equip people with the resources and skills they need to meet the needs of their communities. Following a natural disaster such as an earthquake or typhoon, CLWR helps meet people’s needs in the short-term ranging from food and water to shelter to hygiene kits.
