The Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF) is the Anglican Church of Canada’s agency for sustainable development and humanitarian relief. By engaging Anglicans across Canada, PWRDF supports projects to improve the wellbeing of community members and break the cycle of poverty with a focus on health, empowering women and girls, food security and climate change, and Indigenous programs. PWRDF responds to natural disasters and conflicts with humanitarian relief to support affected families and communities. ​In October 2024, PWRDF approved a name change to Alongside Hope. The name may have changed, but the work has not. (Courtesy of https://pwrdf.org/ )

PWRDF’s story starts in Springhill, Nova Scotia in 1958 - Click Here for more on the organization's history
