About us
Founded by Lutherans in the United States at the end of World War II to serve refugees, Lutheran World Relief has grown into a leading humanitarian assistance and development organization that specializes in analyzing market systems, strengthening agriculture value chains and the capacities of enterprises, and promoting livelihood diversification, rural financing, climate smart and improved agriculture practices, and sustainable water and land management. Lutheran World Relief is a part of the Corus International family, an ensemble of long-serving, global leaders in international development and humanitarian assistance committed to ending poverty and building healthy communities across Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Africa. Founded in 2020 and drawing on a combined heritage of nearly 150 years, Corus connects and catalyzes non-profit and for-profit subsidiaries that include IMA World Health, CGA Technologies, Ground Up Investing and LWR Farmers Market Coffee in addition to Lutheran World Relief. Alongside communities and local partners in fragile settings, our dedicated experts across our organizations integrate disciplines, approaches and resources to overcome global health challenges, develop productive and stable economies, improve resilience in the face of climate change, and respond to natural disasters and humanitarian crises. With the support of our family’s diverse set of partners and funding – from multi- and bilateral institutions and foundations to the private sector and individuals – we invest in solutions that are innovative, scalable, holistic and move the needle towards transformational change.

We continue to provide critical humanitarian support in response to the devastating earthquakes that hit Türkiye earlier this year. One of our local partners in these efforts, World Human Relief, is the keynote speaker at the Türkiye Traumatic Stress Congress which is currently underway in Hatay Province. The conference aims to share research and strengthen community solidarity around trauma and post-disaster mental health. With support from the Corus International family of organizations, World Human Relief has been providing psychological first aid (PFA) and post-disaster mental health care to earthquake survivors in the hardest-hit areas of Hatay. Their mobile clinical psychologist team has already reached more than 5,000 individuals in the first six months of post-earthquake response efforts. Join us in celebrating this partnership and the incredible strides being made in trauma prevention and psychosocial support in Türkiye and beyond! 💪
