Our Work

CWS has a mandate to improve lives for the most marginalized and vulnerable people in the world. We approach this as holistically as possible. We understand that policies and prejudices keep the world’s poor and vulnerable in a cycle of injustice and poverty. So we advocate for changes in policy, and help those we serve to ensure their voices are heard. CWS was created as a response to an emergency. We recognize the world’s poor are most vulnerable to disaster, and we work both to prevent and to respond to calamities.

We will not achieve our mission of promoting peace and justice, and eradicating hunger and poverty, without addressing basic needs like food, water and community infrastructure. CWS serves those who can no longer remain in their homes. For refugees and the displaced, we provide care and accompaniment.
