World Relief is a global Christian humanitarian nongovernmental organization aimed towards helping those in need worldwide through means such as aid after disaster or resettling refugees.

Refugee Resettlement Program
One of the functions of World Relief is their refugee resettlement program. There are currently more refugees in the world than there ever has been since World War II, and World Relief aims to help those affected by crises around the world. World Relief aims to help refugees as soon as a refugee and their families are forced to flee their home, starting by providing essentials, such as clean water and food, to the families. They then seek to help the refugees regain potential lost hope and hopefully grow even further by offering family strengthening programs. World Relief also seeks to help refugees find an affordable home and find a job. Because World Relief is headquartered in the United States, they also aim to help refugees learn English if they do not already. Since 1979, World Relief has successfully relocated and supported over 300,000 refugees in the United States. World Relief determines whether someone is a refugee based on the definition of International Law. International Law defines a refugee as someone who flees their state for fear of being persecuted for one or more of five traits: their "their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group."

Decline of Refugee Resettlement Program
On April 2nd, 2019, World Relief posted on their main website concerning the decline of refugees entering the United States in 2019. According to World Relief, the cause of the decline in refugees was due to changes in United States refugee policies due to the Trump Administrations hand in The Refugee Act and the Presidential Determination. In 2016, the amount of refugees who were resettled in the United States added up to be 84,995, making 2016 the year of the most refugees resettled since 1994. Since then, the numbers have only declined, and in 2019 the amount of Christian refugees entering the country have declined by forty-eight percent and the amount of Muslim refugees has declines by ninety percent.
