Dorcas Aid America
Dorcas is an international organization for relief and development. We strive for lasting change for those who live in poverty, are excluded, or are caught in a crisis. This is how we follow Jesus Christ.
On August 27, 2008 Dorcas established a 501(c)3 in New Jersey, named Dorcas Aid America (DAA). With our presence in the USA, Dorcas can attract new donors and engage in new partnerships to fund development projects.
Through their commitment, the board members of DAA can serve the most vulnerable people and their communities in many countries.
About Dorcas Aid America
Dorcas works in 15 countries in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Dorcas desires justice, both for people and their communities, so that they can flourish. Dorcas brings sustainable change in the lives of the most vulnerable by working together with dozens of local partners organizations, companies, churches and others.
Dorcas works directly with vulnerable individuals, the communities around them and wider societal structures to ensure their programs are relevant and have a lasting impact. Dorcas vows to identify and protect the most vulnerable people - whoever they may be within the countries we serve.

Our partner: MissionInvest
With our partner MissionInvest we are looking for additional partnership opportunities in the USA. Wim Hasselman, Dorcas' MissionInvest consultant, works closely with foundations and donors to facilitate partnerships with Dorcas development projects. He is a strategic advisor for both parties and seeks to define a goal and work towards a mutually beneficial outcome. Mr. Hasselman works for Dorcas as an independent fundraiser to develop fund raising partnerships. Dorcas enjoys the value he brings through his broad network of reliable relations.
