We respond to human needs

CNEWA accompanies the Eastern churches as they respond to the very real human needs that envelop them. While the need can be overwhelming, CNEWA remains focused in its support, so the response of the churches are effective, just and sustainable.

Our regional teams listen, dialogue, review and assess the needs with our boots on the ground — the people of the Eastern churches, entrusted to lead their communities and their crisis response, health care, social service and educational initiatives.

Our teams assess potential programs or projects based on their sustainability, short- and long-term impact, concern for the common good, care for creation, and rigorous agency policy controls that enforce fiscal transparency, accountability and the protection of children and vulnerable persons.
