World Relief
Summary
World Relief (officially, World Relief Corporation of National Association of Evangelicals) is an Evangelical Christian humanitarian nongovernmental organization, the humanitarian arm of the National Association of Evangelicals and a leading refugee resettlement agency.
The administrative headquarters is in Baltimore, Maryland. There are 17 regional offices throughout the United States and 9 international offices.
World Relief was founded as a Commission in 1944 by the National Association of Evangelicals to send clothing and food to victims of World War II. After the war, evangelical leaders decided that the War Relief Commission should continue working in post-war Europe and around the world. In 1950, the agency was renamed World Relief and began to focus on other areas of development, providing sewing machines and training so war widows could earn a living, setting up TB clinics, and supporting orphanages and land reclamation projects.
World Relief is organized as a corporation, and the National Association of Evangelicals as the sole shareholder. Myal Greene is currently the President/CEO (2021-Present).
World Relief's core programs focus on microfinance, AIDS prevention and care, maternal and child health, child development, agricultural training, disaster response, refugee resettlement and immigrant services.
World Relief currently has 17 regional offices (some with multiple locations) throughout the United States, which provide refugee resettlement and immigrant services.
One of the functions of World Relief is their refugee resettlement program. There are currently more refugees in the world than there ever has been since World War II, and World Relief aims to help those affected by crises around the world.
World Relief aims to help refugees as soon as a refugee and their families are forced to flee their home, starting by providing essentials to the families, such as clean water and food. World Relief then tries to help the refugees regain potential lost hope and hopefully grow even further by offering family strengthening programs.
