Community Development
PWS&D works with international partners to carry out long-term community development programs that empower vulnerable people to overcome root causes of poverty and create lasting change. We undertake holistic programs in the areas of agriculture and livestock, education, health, HIV and AIDS, human rights, small business, clean water and sanitation. Our reach is expanded through generous support from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and the province of Saskatchewan.
We currently support programs in the following countries:
Latin America & Caribbean
Africa
Asia
Europe
Emergency Relief
PWS&D responds to emergencies around the world to help provide immediate assistance and emotional support for those most affected. The majority of responses are carried out through the Action by Churches Together (ACT) Alliance, a global network of churches and organizations providing emergency relief and long-term rehabilitation following disaster and conflict. We also work through Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB) to provide immediate food assistance and Canadian Churches in Action (CCA) to provide a unified response from Canadian churches to disaster situations.
