LDS Charities is a humanitarian arm of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The LDS Charities website states: "We seek to ensure that all of our humanitarian initiatives are built upon the principles of personal responsibility, community support, self-reliance, and sustainability. Even our critical aid in our emergency response efforts seeks to promote these principles. Our efforts are designed to give individuals and communities the tools they need to improve their own circumstances in permanent and meaningful ways."
