Tearfund
Who is Tearfund?
We are a Christian international relief and development organisation passionate about ending poverty and seeing communities flourish. We are determined to include everyone – especially the most vulnerable.
Our vision is to see all people freed from poverty, living transformed lives and reaching their God-given potential.
The world has taken huge strides forward in reducing global poverty. We’re determined to go the extra mile to ensure that no one is left behind, especially those who are hardest to reach:
· One in ten people lives in extreme poverty, half of them in sub-Saharan Africa.
· 2 billion people live in countries affected by fragility, conflict and violence.
· 21.5 million people are forcibly displaced by weather-related hazards every year.
As a Christian organisation, we want to unlock the huge potential of many more of the millions of local churches and community organisations globally. We are committed to working alongside them to tackle the root causes of poverty, injustice and fragility in their wider communities. We understand the dynamic nature of poverty is not just physical: people have social, environmental, spiritual and emotional needs too.
Over five decades, we have gained valuable experience and expertise, in both humanitarian and development contexts. We have seen vast numbers of communities transformed – people on the brink of disaster becoming resilient to shocks, self-sufficient and empowered, boldly speaking up for their rights.
Praying for Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Tearfund works across the world, but our current focus is praying for Syrian people who have had to flee their homes in Syria to Lebanon because of the bitter civil war.
