Inspired by God’s promise of abundant life, Presbyterian World Service & Development envisions a sustainable, compassionate and just world.
Support PWS&D’s life-changing work
Through the ACT Alliance, PWS&D is supporting the Middle East Council of Churches’ Department of Service to Palestinian Refugees (DSPR), who are responding to the urgent needs of the people in Gaza.
Presbyterian World Service & Development’s key values are:
Compassion
PWS&D walks with distressed and marginalized people, listening carefully to their stories and responding effectively.
Justice
PWS&D works for equality, empowerment, human dignity, peace and stewardship of creation. In solidarity, we affirm that all people are entitled to know their rights, to receive equal protection, and to have access to and control over resources.
Partnership
PWS&D believes in dynamic relationships that involve mutual learning, trust and shared vision. Healthy partnerships are accountable, ethical, equitable, flexible and respectful.
PWS&D’s strategic partnerships allow for donations dollars to stretch further, have greater impact and improve the lives of more people. We collaborate with well-respected internationally focused organizations, faith-based and secular, to address many of the structural issues that affect the communities where the church is working around the world. Together, we accomplish more.
