Here are some of our recent projects:

🟦 Cash Assistance for Earthquake-Affected Families in Myanmar
We provided direct cash support to families affected by the devastating earthquake in Myanmar, helping them meet essential needs in the most difficult times.

🟨 School Construction in Zimbabwe
In rural areas of Zimbabwe, we help create safe and supportive learning environments by building schools and providing essential education materials.

🟩 Safe Water Access in Nepal
We improve access to clean and safe drinking water in remote villages of Nepal, protecting health and restoring dignity to daily life.

Through these and many other efforts, we work alongside communities to bring hope, resilience, and long-term change.

Who are we

ADRA is the global humanitarian arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church—part of the 20-million strong Adventist community, with hundreds of thousands of churches globally and the world’s largest integrated healthcare and education network.

We deliver relief and development assistance to individuals in more than 107 countries—regardless of their ethnicity, political affiliation, gender, or religious association.

By partnering with local communities, organizations, and governments, we are able to deliver culturally relevant programs and build local capability for sustainable change.

Our 4 Pillars

By working closely with individuals and communities around the world, ADRA has developed four key areas of focus.
These areas have grown from real needs, and together they shape our holistic approach to humanitarian work.

💧 Emergency Assistance for Life

We provide urgent support—such as clean water, food, shelter, and psychosocial care—to people affected by conflict or disaster.
Our goal is to help restore a sense of safety and hope, even in the hardest moments.

📘 Education Support to Open the Future

We work with local communities to improve learning environments by building schools, supplying equipment, and raising awareness.
We aim to ensure that more children can access quality education and build brighter futures.

🌾 Income Generating Livelihoods

We help individuals and communities build sustainable sources of income.
With stable livelihoods, people can afford food, medical care, and education—empowering them to plan for tomorrow.

🧼 Health and Sanitation for Dignity

We ensure access to clean water, safe sanitation, and hygiene education, so that everyone can live with dignity and stay healthy—both physically and mentally.

Your Donation Will Make a Difference

Your donation will directly support ADRA’s humanitarian work around the world—responding to urgent needs and creating lasting change.

We plan to use your support for:

🆘 Emergency Aid
Providing food, clean water, shelter, and psychological support to people affected by conflict and natural disasters—such as in Ukraine, Myanmar, and other crisis-affected regions.

🏫 Education for the Future
Building schools, supplying educational materials, and supporting children’s learning in countries like Zimbabwe and Nepal.

🌱 Livelihood Support
Helping families in Mongolia and beyond build stable sources of income—so they can face tomorrow with hope and self-reliance.

Each donation brings more than just material aid— it brings hope, dignity, and the strength to keep going.
