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.

For nearly 60 years, the Hosanna Quilters have used their creativity to care for others.

Through handmade quilt sales, this Edmonton group has donated more than $32,000 to support CLWR’s humanitarian work around the world.

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.
