Through support from the Nepal Evangelical Lutheran Church, the community has been able to recover and develop flood resilience, and to mobilize to make their voices heard in the local government, as Nepal is transitioning into a federal government system.

  • 17 March 2022, Siret, Romania: A man stirs a large pot of soup at the Vama Siret border crossing, Romania. The Vama Siret border crossing connects northeast Romania with Ukraine. Located north of Siret and further in the south the city of Suceava, the crossing connects Romania with the Ukrainian village of Terebleche and further north the city of Chernivtsi. Following the invasion of Ukraine by Russian military starting on 24 February 2022, close to half a million refugees have fled across the Ukrainian border into Romania. In the past 24 hours, government figures indicate more than 50,000 people have crossed the border in search of refuge, an estimated 20 percent of whom are expected to stay in Romania, rather than transit into other European countries.

  • Giltena Duda gets water from a hose outside her home in the Zemun Polje Roma neighborhood of Belgrade, Serbia. Ms. Duda is pregnant with her seventh child. She and her husband are Roma refugees from Kosovo, and thus legally marginalized in Serbia. They built their home on unregistered land and pirate their electrical hookup. Without legal residency, their children can't attend a regular school, and they have difficulties getting formal employment. Yet both adults participate in a literacy program sponsored by the Branko Pesic School, where their children attend classes. The school is supported by Church World Service.

  • Food is served in the Sanapaná indigenous village of Laguna Pato in the Gran Chaco, Paraguay. The food includes Mbeju, a staple of the Paraguayan diet, made with cassava and cheese and cooked in a frying pan. In the guaraní language, Mbejú means cake.<br />
<br />
Until recently, the Sanapaná people survived entirely as nomadic hunter, fisher gatherers. But as commercial farming has encroached dramatically on their traditional lands, they are now living in a reduced area of land, very small by Paraguayan farming standards, unable to move as they did between hunting and fishing grounds, and according to seasons for gathering in the forests. They are finding it hard adapting to the changes. While they still survive mainly by hunting and fishing, their diet, nutrition and food security has suffered. They live in very remote areas, and buying food is from travelling salesmen called 'macateros' is difficult because they are so overpriced and their incomes, from occasional labour on nearby farms, are so low.<br />
<br />
Church World Service supports the community by teaching them to grow vegetables for themselves and providing the seeds for community vegetable gardens. Despite setbacks from floods and droughts, the projects have been taken up enthusiastically by the indigenous people.

  • Martha Marak at home in her kitchen. Martha built her house herself, she lives here with her children. Typical of kitchens in the region, she cooks on a floor-level stove that is closed at the back and open at the front. This type of stove has several advantages. It has two hobs, one for a large pan, the other for a kettle. This stove can accept long pieces of firewood without the need for them to be chopped up. For Martha, who has a heavy routine of manual labour, this is a significant saving of her time and energy. While the smoke can be bothersome it keeps the insects out of the house. Martha gets up at 4am, and without electicity she depends on the light from the stove in the early-morning darkness. Here, Martha is preparing a snack of mini-popcorn made from millet that she has grown herself. Martha's daughter Critika watches her mum.
