What we do: Our seven programmatic themes
At Dorcas, we believe in the God given value and potential of every single person. Our faith motivates us to create hope and long-term perspectives for people who are the most vulnerable to crises, poverty and exclusion: older people, children, women, people with disabilities, and excluded groups, such as Roma and migrants. No one should be left behind. Instead, everyone should have the opportunity to reach their potential and be part of a flourishing community.
Dorcas will focus on seven key programmatic themes as we work towards our mission. We do this, because everyone should have the opportunity to reach their potential and be part of a flourishing community.
Livelihoods and Food Security
We support people in finding sustainable livelihoods, increasing resilience and contributing to community wellbeing, with particular attention to food security.
Economic Development
We empower people to improve their job skills, start small businesses, and connect to inclusive markets to secure income and reduce poverty.
Protection
We protect people vulnerable to poverty, exclusion, crisis and violence through integrated measures, targeted prevention and advocacy for systemic change.
Community Development
We partner with communities in vulnerable situations through collaborative, asset-based and conflict-sensitive approaches that enhance their capacity, resilience and quality of life.
Climate Adaptation
We enable farmers and citizens to adapt, protect themselves, build resilience and flourish in the face of climate change impacts.
Water
We provide communities with access to clean water and promote its sustainable use so everyone can flourish as environmental conditions change.
Crisis Response
We respond to acute and protracted crises through anticipatory action, lifesaving assistance and comprehensive recovery support.
