What We Do - Civil Society

Churches, voluntary organizations, and other groups within civil society have a crucial role to play in building a better world. Church World Service accompanies and supports indigenous organizations that promote the advancement of peace, reconciliation, justice, and democracy as pillars for sustainable communities. This requires maintaining stable and equal relationships with our global partners.
