Our vision and values

​

Our aims

We stand together. For dignity. For equality. For justice.

Everyone is equal in the sight of God, yet we live in a world where poverty still persists. Poverty is an outrage against humanity — it strips people of dignity and lets injustice thrive. But together, we can make change that lasts.

For 80 years, we’ve stood with our global neighbours, working in 29 countries to challenge the root causes of poverty and create opportunities for people to thrive. Our work brings together local partners, churches, communities, supporters and staff, united by a belief that a fairer future is possible.

Our voices and actions are stronger together. And with your help, we can make an even bigger difference.

Christian Aid’s core values

We believe a world free from poverty is possible. A world where every person can flourish and share life in all its fullness. Our values guide us in everything we do:

• Equality — We tackle the power imbalances that cause poverty by working together with those who have been left behind. We seek to create a world in which everyone has an equal voice, equal power, and an equal opportunity to make the most of their lives.

• Dignity — People living in poverty should be able to make their own decisions about the future. We fight for their dignity and support them to change their own lives.

• Justice — Together with people living in poverty, we amplify our voices to boldly speak truth to power, and to challenge systems and structures that oppress people.

• Love — Love is our motivation. It drives us to stand in solidarity with our global neighbours against poverty and injustice. It moves us to strive for a world where everyone has fullness of life. It sustains us with energy and passion as we commit to working alongside our brothers and sisters worldwide.
