That Lasts

We think it’s possible. Do you?

For nearly 80 years, across 100 countries

we’ve been equipping churches, communities and people like you to develop sustainable, locally-driven solutions to some of our world’s most pressing problems.

Imagine a world where every person is seen and valued for the person God created them to be, where the church steps into its calling to love and serve those who are suffering among us and where diverse communities all over the world flourish in shalom.

That’s the kind of world we’re building at World Relief, and we're so excited to tell you more about it.
