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:
- just and sustainable agricultural, WASH and livelihoods practices.
- emergency preparedness, response and recovery in neglected geographies and populations.
- pathways to safety and resilience for millions seeking asylum and refuge around the world.
This work is interlinked, and the cross-cutting support from our partners empowers transformative, innovative and locally-driven outcomes to today’s biggest challenges.
