Auditor Lutheran World Relief Nairobi

Lutheran World Relief (LWR) is a US-based non-governmental organization founded in 1945 to respond to the needs of communities devastated by World War II. Since then, it has evolved from a relief agency shipping material resources to war-torn Europe to an agency that works with partners worldwide to respond to emergencies and seek lasting solutions to rural poverty. LWR works on behalf of U.S. Lutherans, enabling them to put their faith into action by supporting programs in emergency response, community development, advocacy and social responsibility. In all of its work, LWR emphasizes promoting gender equity, strengthening organizational capacity, empowering communities to have a voice in making decisions that affect their lives, and learning to continually improve our work.

Vision statement: Empowered by God’s unconditional love in Jesus Christ, we envision a world in which each person, every community and all generations live in justice, dignity and peace.

Mission statement: Affirming God’s love for all people, we work with Lutherans and partners around the world to end poverty, injustice and human suffering.

Areas of focus
a) Emergency and response: Immediate response, material resources, rehabilitation and reconstruction
b) Sustainable Rural livelihoods : Agriculture and livestock development, micro enterprise, environmental management and conservation, water and sanitation, HIV/AIDS prevention, care and support, primary health care promotion, trade and marketing and education
c) Peace building and Justice: Conflict resolution, human rights, gender equity and advocacy
d) Risk management: Community mapping, community response structures and public works
