Please join us in prayer for the people of Colombia. A magnitude 7.4 earthquake has struck Chocó, one of the country’s most vulnerable and underserved regions. Homes have collapsed, roads and infrastructure are severely damaged and families are sleeping outdoors, afraid to return to unstable buildings.

Our partner, the Lutheran World Federation, is on the ground assessing urgent needs and preparing to scale up emergency support. The first hours and days matter most. You can donate to help families survive and rebuild:

“I lost my child. I had a little child I loved so much, and she died in the floodwaters.”

When Hurricane Melissa tore through Fond Fabre, Haiti, Natacha Septembre lost her five-year-old daughter, her home and her livelihood.

In the months that followed, Natacha and her husband struggled with overwhelming grief and trauma. Through a CLWR-supported emergency response they received psychosocial support and emergency assistance to help them begin rebuilding their lives.

“When I encountered RODEP, it was like they rebuilt me,” Natacha said.

This emergency response was implemented by The Lutheran World Federation Haiti and its local partners, including RODEP, and supported with funding from Canada’s International Development – Global Affairs Canada through the Humanitarian Coalition/ Coalition Humanitaire.

Sexual violence has been used as a weapon of war in Sudan.

For women and girls fleeing the conflict, displacement has not ended violence. It has only changed form.

Survivors continue to face risk, fear and stigma long after they flee.

In overcrowded camps and informal settlements, systems designed to protect women from violence are stretched thin. Silence is often enforced through fear and intimidation.

Through a project in Chad, CLWR and the Lutheran World Federation will build or rehabilitate six women- and girl-friendly safe spaces.

These spaces will provide safety, support and access to essential services for survivors and those at risk.

Similar work is also underway in South Sudan and Sudan with CARE Canada and oxfam canada. Thank you to the Canada’s International Development – Global Affairs Canada for supporting this life-saving work.

“The storm came, and I lost everything again. I had nothing left.”

When Hurricane Melissa struck Haiti, Marc Azar lost his garden, his chickens, his belongings and his small business.

It was not the first time Marc had been forced to start over. After fleeing gang violence in Port-au-Prince he rebuilt his life in a coastal commune with his wife and eight children — until the hurricane swept it all away.

Through a CLWR-funded emergency response, The Lutheran World Federation Haiti and local partner RODEP provided Marc’s family with hygiene supplies and cash assistance to help them recover. He used the support to send his children back to school and restart his business.

The five-month response helped 480 families affected by Hurricane Melissa, with funding from Canada’s International Development – Global Affairs Canada through the Humanitarian Coalition/ Coalition Humanitaire.

After losing her husband in the conflict in Sudan, Sadia Mahmat Issa fled to Chad with her family in search of safety.

Today, she is a leader in Arkoum refugee camp, where she advocates for displaced women, widows and people with disabilities as president of the camp’s women’s committee.

Sadia's story is one of resilience, but no one should have to face these challenges alone.

With support from the Canada’s International Development – Global Affairs Canada, Canadian Lutheran World Relief, CARE Canada and Oxfam Canada are launching a regional response that will reach more than 429,000 people across Sudan, South Sudan and Chad with clean water, sanitation services, protection programming and support for survivors of gender-based violence.

Together, we can help ensure women like Sadia have the support they need to rebuild their lives.
