Objects and values

The objective of DanChurchAid is to help the poorest of the world and strengthen their possibilities for a life in dignity.

We work with relief and development aid and we speak on behalf of the poor so that the structures behind their need can be changed.

DanChurchAid believes in a life before death

DanChurchAid believes that all human beings are created in the image of God and therefore equal. That even the poorest of the poor have capacities to build on. We believe that assistance should be given with respect for the individual and his or her dignity – regardless of race, religion or political affiliation.

Working with partners

Working together with international and local partner organisations , DanChurchAid’s approach to sustainable development enhances local capacities to respond to disasters and to address the root causes of poverty and oppression.

A rights-based approach

DanChurchAid advocates for and with the oppressed, neglected and marginalised people in poor countries. We help people attain the ability to provide and speak for themselves. A rights-based approach that includes the right to gender equality provides the basis for all of DanChurchAid’s activities.
