PWS&D works for equality, empowerment, human dignity, peace and stewardship of creation. In solidarity, we affirm that all people are entitled to know their rights, to receive equal protection, and to have access to and control over resources.
Partnership
PWS&D believes in dynamic relationships that involve mutual learning, trust and shared vision. Healthy partnerships are accountable, ethical, equitable, flexible and respectful.
PWS&D’s strategic partnerships allow for donations dollars to stretch further, have greater impact and improve the lives of more people. We collaborate with well-respected internationally focused organizations, faith-based and secular, to address many of the structural issues that affect the communities where the church is working around the world. Together, we accomplish more.
