DCAs vision

DanChurchAid has a vision of a world without hunger, poverty and oppression, in which popular and political powers constantly work strongly and actively for a just and sustainable distribution and use of the earth’s resources.

DCAs core

DanChurchAid supports the poorest of the world in their struggle for a dignified life and helps those whose lives are threatened. They provide emergency relief in disaster-stricken areas and long-term development assistance in poor regions - to create a more equitable and sustainable world.

Their work derives from Christian values. They show active compassion, share with the world’s poorest, and help those in need. They act courageously when injustice is committed against people and when human rights are violated.

The situation of each individual is the starting point for their work, with respect for human rights and equality. They engage with popular and political forces and seek to influence decision makers to improve conditions for the poorest.

They work closely with faith-based and other partners and break new ground in their partnerships to make the greatest possible difference in the world.

They show leadership and maintain our 100 years of tradition for action and innovation. By experimenting and testing new ways of working with volunteers, donors, and partners, they help people in poverty and distress to find a better life and have hope for a better world.
