We are a reliable facilitator of aid and sustainable change.

Development Cooperation Humanitarian Aid Churches in Development

Our mission is to bring dignity, justice, and peace to the world’s most vulnerable communities, while also providing essential aid in times of crisis.

We work hand in hand with trusted local partners—including churches and NGOs—to stand by those in need, support the rights of children and young people, and help communities lay the foundation for a brighter future. Together, we are reliable facilitators of aid and sustainable change.

Key areas of focus

A Safe Educational Journey for Every Child

Every child and young person has the right to education in their mother tongue and tailored to their needs. We support education initiatives in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.

Food Security and Livelihood for All

Everyone has the right to live in safety, with good health and well-being. We create livelihood opportunities, especially for mothers and young people, through vocational training. Our programmes in agriculture and entrepreneurship help families adapt to climate change and improve their incomes.

A Stronger Civil Society

In the countries where we work, opportunities for civic participation are often limited or suppressed. By empowering local churches and organisations, we enable them to drive lasting change within their communities.

Decent Living in Crisis Areas

We help where the need is greatest, saving lives and supporting communities through crises. Our expertise includes psychosocial support and securing education in areas affected by conflict, crises and natural disasters.

Development Cooperation Builds a more Just World

Our development goals include improving access to nutritious food and clean water, increasing the number of people who learn to read and write, improving health, safety and employment, and reducing corruption.

Fida focuses on improving the basic rights of children, women and people with disabilities in developing countries.

Humanitarian Aid Saves Lives in Crises

We help where the need is greatest. We save lives and help communities survive crises. We specialise in psychosocial support and ensuring education in crisis, conflict and disaster areas.

Churches Defend the Marginalised

When churches side with the most vulnerable, the world becomes more just. We develop the expertise and advocacy of our partner churches to achieve transformational development. We support the family work of churches to ensure the well-being of poorest children.
