Alanyo Jennifer’s story is a powerful reminder of this reality. A survivor of violence, she found strength at a safe space in Uganda to heal and rebuild. Her resilience calls us to stand with survivors, challenge systems that enable violence, and create safer communities for women and girls.

The ceasefire opens a critical window to assess the true extent of need in Gaza. With increased humanitarian access, we will be able to reach those still suffering and begin the long process of rebuilding. Your continued partnership will be vital as we respond to the urgent needs ahead.

Thanks to your support, CLWR and our partners have been providing life-saving aid since the onset of the conflict—ensuring families have access to clean water, emergency cash, medical supplies, and mental health services in Gaza and the West Bank.

Congregations in those areas interested in connecting with Carmen, Ryan or Sheilagh can reach out to heidi@clwr.org to organize a visit.

(We’re still recruiting for additional regions including those in SK, MB, AB and ON—if you know someone who’d be a great fit, please let us know.)

Faith is not just something we hold in our hearts—it’s expressed through the ways we care for others, stand in solidarity, and work to make the world a brighter place.

This Christmas, let your faith inspire acts of kindness and compassion that reflect the true spirit of the season.

Even the simplest acts of love can create ripples that touch countless lives.

This season, let love guide your actions. Explore ways to make a difference: clwr.org/calendar-of-kindness
