I was a Professional with expertise in this field & Observed them directly in one disaster response effort (while working with another agency), and followed their work in others over the past ten years

LWR is known as one of the more effective disaster relief agencies. They have several core strengths:
- professional staff and mission-focus
- long-standing relationships in deployed communities and with other agencies
- partnership with local churches and civic structures
- commitment to work after the initial response
In areas where they are not the "boots on the ground," they do a good job geting money and resources to effective local partners.
The Great!
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... extremely professional, well-organized, non-nonsense, and mission-focused. Their care is best expressed in they way they often seek to "unmet needs" - cracks between other relief efforts.
Ways to make it better!
- If I ran this organization, I would... try to increase visibility.
