World Relief provides humanitarian aid and development services to vulnerable populations, particularly refugees and those affected by crises. The organization works by partnering with over 6,000 churches and 95,000 local volunteers to deliver support and resources effectively. Its approach includes private sponsorship programs, such as the Welcome Corps, which enables individuals to sponsor refugees resettling in the U.S. Unlike many other organizations, World Relief emphasizes community involvement and faith-based partnerships to extend its reach. The goal of World Relief is to create sustainable solutions that improve the lives of those in need, relying on donations, grants, and sponsorships to fund its initiatives.
