About us
Our Mission
For those in need! Dorcas is active in Eastern Europe, Eastern Africa and the Middle East. Local colleagues lead our 13 country offices. We invest in resilient communities in which everyone can participate. We help over one million people annually.
When a disaster or a crisis occurs, we provide humanitarian assistance and support communities to rebuild themselves. At the same time, we invest in structural solutions for poverty and social exclusion. In our work we are accountable, compassionate, determined and locally led.
Our Values
We are a Christian organisation, inspired by the potential that lies within every human being.
Our History
We began life as a passionate network of volunteers in the Netherlands.
Our Impact
A better livelihood for those in need. That is what we all work for every day. Over the past 40 years, Dorcas and the programme participants have been able to effect lasting change for millions of people.
