Since February 28, escalating military violence in the Middle East has been worsening and widening, with humanitarian needs rising rapidly. Respond with us today.
Presbyterian World Service & Development’s key values are:

Partnership
PWS&D believes in dynamic relationships that involve mutual learning, trust and shared vision. Healthy partnerships are accountable, ethical, equitable, flexible and respectful.

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.
