Core Business
The core business of the Diakonia Council of Churches is the pursuit of justice: meaning an improved quality of life for the poor, as well as changes in attitudes and structures which perpetuate injustice. This is fundamental to our identity as an organisation.
The churches have a unique contribution to make to the struggle against injustice and poverty. Their task is to facilitate, enable and equip the churches for the task of making this unique contribution.
