Church World Service is a faith-based organization transforming communities around the globe through just and sustainable responses to hunger, poverty, displacement and disaster. CWS was born in 1946 in the aftermath of World War II. Now, more than 75 years later, CWS works across Asia, Africa, Europe and the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean and North America to help build a world where everyone has food, a voice and a safe place to call home.

Our work is about helping build the spiritual foundation for a loving world. The Fetzer Institute was founded by American broadcast pioneer John E. Fetzer (1901–1991), who had a keen interest in the relationship between the inner life of spirit and the outer life of service. He established the Institute with the belief that efforts to address the world’s critical issues must go beyond political, social and economic, strategies to address the psychological and spiritual roots of these issues.

Because we believe in the power of work, our mission is to strengthen communities by empowering individuals and families through education, training, and job placement.
