Policy
Diakonia believes in people’s equal value and the right of all people to live a dignified life. These are the driving forces behind our work, but far too many people today live in extreme poverty and vulnerability.
Diakonia’s policy
Diakonia’s policy stems from people’s convictions, faith and commitment, and their ability to exercise these. The document is based on the firm belief in people’s equal value and the right of all people to live a dignified life.
Partner organizations are fundamental to our work
Our efforts are aimed at people whose lives are impacted by poverty, oppression or violence in various forms, regardless of their faith, skin colour or gender.
As an organization funded by Christian churches, our partners naturally include several churches and ecumenical organizations. But we do not believe that Christian organizations are the only ones working to achieve positive change. For this reason, a diversity of religious convictions is represented in our network.
