DanChurchAid in 2024

In 2024, DCA reached 4 million people with direct support. But the benefits of our work reach far beyond those we help directly – they spread like ripples in the water.

When we give food rations to a parent, the whole family benefits. When a village is given access to clean water, it strengthens the whole society. Overall, in 2024 we indirectly improved the living conditions for a further 10 million people in the world’s conflict zones.

Income remains steady

DCA’s income in 2024 totalled DKK 1,038 million. This enabled us to continue the work of delivering vital aid to people in need. We worked through more than 200 partners – local organisations, churches and companies – and with self-implemented projects, including humanitarian mine clearance, in a large number of the world’s conflict zones.

The activities of DCA in 2024 reflected the massive humanitarian needs brought about by recent years’ crises and wars.

DCA is present in 19 countries where the needs are greatest.
Our largest country programme is in South Sudan, where approximately DKK 106.5 million was spent in 2024.

Fundraising, information and personnel

In 2024, personnel and operating costs for our headoffice and country offices amounted to DKK 63,4 million.

Expenditures for information and fundraising amounted to DKK 94,3 million.

The total result was DKK 3.4 million.

The administrative expenses were 5.2%, up from 4.6% in 2023. The increase was primarily due to increasing personnel as a result of a new government collective agreement in the Danish labour market.

Income by donors and partners

A record-high amount of DKK 214,7 million came from DCA’s private donors in 2024, including donations from the public in Denmark as well as profits from the second-hand and Wefood stores that DCA operates in Denmark.

DKK 807,1 million came from institutional donors, the largest of which was Danida.
