Fida’s development cooperation has been ongoing for 50 years. The relief work gained official status in 1974.

Fida launched a support program for teenage victims of sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The initiative is carried out in partnership with the healthcare organization led by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Denis Mukwege.

Ethnic conflicts, war, natural disasters, poverty, and social issues—these all threaten the nation’s development and the realization of human rights. Rebuilding the future requires restoring connections between people and communities.

Tanzania still has a long way to go to achieve equality and human rights for all. Fida and the Free Pentecostal Church of Tanzania (FPCT) have made significant progress in improving the rights of children with disabilities. The partnership has brought them from the corners of their homes to school.

In the early 2000s, the Roma community in Kiseljak, Bosnia, lived in extreme poverty, lacking access to water, electricity, and basic rights. Sixty percent of children didn’t attend school, and child marriages were common. Begging was a frequent means of survival. Yet, amidst the hardship, a spark of hope began to ignite.

Good news from Bosnia reaches Finland: young Roma in Tuzla have completed their vocational training and found employment. Today, we meet one of these determined youth, Ajdin.
