country programme of the LWF/Department for World Service,
The Lutheran World Federation Nepal (LWF Nepal) has been working
with marginalized and disadvantaged communities for the past
24 years in the areas of relief and rehabilitation, advocacy
and networking, empowerment and organizational development.
In these endeavours, LWF Nepal cooperates within its networks
that include ecumenical, government and non-government, and
community-based partner organisations.

approach as the key to development process.
