Expertise
Our staff are called on regularly by other organizations to offer insight and help. CWS employs talented staff committed to providing the best disaster responses possible.

Internationally, CWS staff work with local partners to ensure they have the knowledge and expertise to help those in need.  

Standards
Humanitarian assistance is more complicated than throwing food off the back of a truck. As such, CWS joined other NGOs in creating SPHERE, a set of minimum standards in disaster reponse and humanitarian assistance. CWS also provides training to other NGOs in adhering to guidelines of the Humanitarian Assistance Project, which holds agencies accountable to beneficiaries.
