Our work

Our long-term goals

Norwegian Church Aid connects humanitarian response, long-term development, and peacebuiling together for lasting change through comprehensive programs and initiatives. All our programs and initiatives are supported by the following goals.

Saving lives

The poorest are always hit the hardest in times of crisis. Many lives are lost each year due to the lack of clean water in emergencies. This is why we provide clean water first. Together we save lives and protect the vulnerable.

Changing lives

To be poor is to lack opportunity. But where there are challenges, we also find the best solutions. Permanent access to clean water is one of them. Together we can help people find their own way out of poverty.

Changing the world

Poverty is injustice. There is enough water, food and work for all, but global structures help keep the rich rich and the poor poor. Together we can advocate for change where decisions are made.
