We are a reliable facilitator of aid and sustainable change.

Development Cooperation Humanitarian Aid Churches in Development

Our mission is to bring dignity, justice, and peace to the world’s most vulnerable communities, while also providing essential aid in times of crisis.

We work hand in hand with trusted local partners—including churches and NGOs—to stand by those in need, support the rights of children and young people, and help communities lay the foundation for a brighter future. Together, we are reliable facilitators of aid and sustainable change.

Key areas of focus

A Safe Educational Journey for Every Child

Every child and young person has the right to receive education according to their individual needs. We work to support education in Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe.

Food Security and Livelihood for All

Everyone has the right to live in safety, good health, and well-being. We create livelihood opportunities especially for women to strengthen the well-being of families. We provide training in agriculture and entrepreneurship, helping communities adapt to the impacts of climate change and improving family incomes.

A Stronger Civil Society

In the countries where we work, opportunities for civic participation are often limited or suppressed. By empowering local churches and organisations, we enable them to drive lasting change within their communities.

Decent Living in Crisis Areas

We help where the need is greatest, saving lives and supporting communities through crises. Our expertise includes psychosocial support and securing education in areas affected by conflict, crises and natural disasters.

Development Cooperation Builds a more Just World

The goal of development cooperation is to ensure that individuals and families have sufficient livelihoods, that children have access to quality education and improved learning, and that community members have the opportunity to influence the development of their own communities.

Fida focuses on improving the basic rights of children, women and people with disabilities in developing countries.
