Our collaborations
Joining hands for lasting change
Dorcas is part of a movement that strives to bring about sustainable change for marginalised people affected by poverty, exclusion and crises. We collaborate with anyone who shares our mission.
We work proactively with local organisations, NGOs, businesses, knowledge institutes, funders and investors. By working together with our partners and donors, we can go the extra mile and enable lasting change for those in need.
We are active members of networks and are committed to the sustainable impact of our work and that of others.

Partners
We implement our projects in partnership with local, national and international NGOs, knowledge partners, government bodies, businesses, investors and churches. With over 40 years' experience of operating in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Eastern Africa, Dorcas has a proven track record of delivering results in fragile and crisis-affected settings.
