Lutheran World Relief (LWR) is an international non-governmental organization that focuses on sustainable development projects and disaster relief and recovery. The organization was founded in 1945 to collect and send aid to people living in post-World War II Europe.

According to its website, LWR "works to improve the lives of millions of smallholder farmers and people experiencing poverty in Africa, Asia and Latin America, both in times of emergencies and for the long term. LWR builds and maximizes community assets to develop strong local economies and resilient communities, toward our ultimate vision of an end to poverty, injustice and human suffering" by focusing on three main areas of work:

  • Agriculture
  • Climate
  • Emergency Operations

One of LWR’s flagship programs – started in 1945 and continuing today – is its Quilt and Kit Ministry. Each year Lutherans across the United States assemble and donate LWR Mission Quilts, as well as several kinds of kits to assist people living in poverty in times of emergency or great need.

LWR continues to receive high rankings from organizations such as the Charity Watch, which gave LWR an A rating from 2007 through 2015.

LWR is a member of the ACT Alliance, a global alliance of churches and related agencies working on development that are committed to working together.

Since 1999, LWR has been headquartered at The Lutheran Center, located in Baltimore, Maryland. Prior to 1999, LWR's headquarters were located in New York City.
