DanChurchAid is one of the major Danish humanitarian non governmental organisations (NGO), working with churches and non-religious civil organisations to assist the poorest of the poor.



DanChurchAid carries out its work with the objective:



- to help and be advocates of oppressed, neglected and marginalised groups in poor countries and to strengthen their possibilities of a life in dignity.



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, and that assistance should be given regardless of race, religion and political affiliation.



DanChurchAid's work abroad is focused on the poorest population groups in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Central America.



Whether immediate relief aid to victims of drought, war, floods and other disasters or the long steady pull in reconstructing and developing a community, advocating the cause of the oppressed and supporting the democratic struggle in a country, the aim is to help people getting to a point where they are able to take care of themselves and speak for themselves.
