Who we are: We are a Christian humanitarian and development organisation partnering with the local churches and Organisations in more than 50 countries wherever possible to see change in the lives of those in greatest economic need. We believe poverty is caused by broken relationships with God, others, the environment and ourselves, and working to see those relationships restored is key to how we work. We want to see change that is economic, material, environmental and spiritual.
