Speaking out for those who can't. Our connection to partners in over 80 countries informs and inspires our work in education and advocacy. Confronting the root causes of hunger is an essential complement to our overseas work. By raising awareness about poverty, the HIV/AIDS epidemic, human rights and peace-building, CWS brings the voices of our partners into the halls of churches, community groups and our government.

Join us in calling the U.S. government, the United Nations, and key international institutions to formulate policies responsive to the needs of impoverished people around the world. You can change the world.
