We support children and their families in the US and 17 countries across Africa, Latin America, Asia, and Eastern Europe who are at risk due to illness, food insecurity, poverty, war, or natural disasters. WER offers practical assistance and empowers local communities, hospitals, and churches to address the immediate humanitarian needs while developing long-term solutions. Our focus includes combating hunger, providing medical aid, improving access to safe water, advocating for educational equity, and responding to natural disasters.
