Covenant World Relief Established in 1946, Covenant World Relief has served as the international humanitarian aid and development arm of the Evangelical Covenant Church (in times of extreme need it also does USA domestic disaster response). Their charge is to assist the “poorest of the poor” by offering relief, rehabilitation, and development. CWR works through local churches, collaborations, and partnerships. This increases local presence in service, controls and reduces overhead, empowers local ministry, and grants immediate response to disaster and human suffering.
