Partnerships

CWS partners with foundations and corporations who prioritize community-led responses to hunger, poverty, displacement and disaster. Our work together reaches communities in 65+ countries and 30+ U.S. cities, often in contexts where there is little outside support. With nearly 80 years of expertise, we have taken a leadership role in shaping and implementing:

Food, Water & Economic Security programs that support individuals and communities to access food, water and sustainable livelihoods and income.
Emergency Preparedness and Recovery programs working with communities to enhance local capacity, build resilience and meet their needs in the immediate aftermath of a crisis.
Legal & Social Protection programs seek to protect basic human rights and ensure that all people have equal access to essential services, pathways to safety and resilience for millions seeking asylum and refuge around the world.

We implement high-quality, community-led, multisectoral programs that promote dignity, resilience, belonging and equality.
