What we do
Working with thousands of local partner organizations, we work with people living in poverty striving to exercise their human rights, assert their dignity as full citizens and take control of their lives.
We focus our efforts in these areas:
Development
We work with and through partners and communities on long-term programs to eradicate poverty and combat injustice.
Emergencies
We deliver immediate life-saving assistance to people affected by natural disasters or conflict, and help to build their resilience to future disasters.
Campaigning
We are part of a global movement for change. We raise public awareness of the causes of poverty and encourage ordinary people to take action for a fairer world.
Advocacy
We press decision-makers to change policies and practices that reinforce poverty and injustice.
Policy research
We can speak with authority as a result of thorough research and analysis, and the real experience of our partners in developing countries.
