The Lutheran World Relief Community Quilt

When an earthquake or hurricane strikes in a developing country, thousands of people lose their homes, their crops, and their lives because they live on unsuitable land, or because they lack warning or emergency evacuation plans. War and conflict force the poor and vulnerable to flee their homes with no plan of how to meet their most basic needs for food, clothing, or education.
