Program areas at Lutheran World Relief
Emergencies and material resources: Lutheran World Relief responds to natural disasters and conflict-driven emergencies, especially those that affect the World's poorest communities and work with vulnerable communities to help them rebuild after disaster strikes and prepare for future disasters. During the year, we engaged in emergency response and material resources projects around the World. In addition, Lutheran World Relief and our partners conducted distributions of mission quilts or school supply or baby care kits.
Ground up investing, including mountain harvest and farmers market brands: lwr makes impact investments through ground up investing (gui). Gui funds high-impact enterprises that deliver social, economic and environmental benefits for local communities through both debt and equity funding. Gui invests in companies operating across rural markets from agricultural sourcing to production and trading to direct-to-consumer product companies and tech-enabled services providers.
Food security/climate change/agriculture: Lutheran World Relief works with poor, rural communities around the World to help farmers improve their crops, learn new techniques and tools to increase their yield and attract buyers who will pay more for their products, help rural communities develop productive, resilient and stable economies through an enterprise-based approach that engages the private sector at multiple levels to create profitable partnerships that benefit families and promote rural livelihoods. Lutheran World Relief also helps communities protect their agricultural assets in the face of challenging climate conditions and improve their resilience to natural hazards like floods and droughts. We introduced environmentally sustainable farming practices so that communities get the most out of their land while conserving and restoring their natural resources. We also worked with local and national governments to facilitate the equitable access and protection of natural resources, helping communities assess their vulnerabilities to natural hazards and develop the plans and skills they need to prepare for them.
