Life With Dignity, also known as LWD, or Angkar ‘L’ as named by rural communities, is a local NGO serving vulnerable communities in Cambodia through development work prioritizing human dignity. LWD understands that poor communities face major challenges in their lives and are owners to their solution. The work of LWD originated in 1979, through the Lutheran World Service (LWS) Cambodia (1979 -1992), a field program of Lutheran World Federation, which focused on emergency relief, demining and resettlement. In 1993, the program was renamed as Lutheran World Federation (LWF) Cambodia Program (1993 – 2010), and shifted focus to supporting rural development. They work under the following objectives:

• To improve socio-economic status of partner households with specific focus on women and persons with disability by 2020.
• To increase community resilience to impacts of climate change and disasters.
• To sensitize community members on safe and unsafe migration and provide them with adequate responses on migration and trafficking issues.
• To improve organization development.
