Tearfund

Mission Statement

Tearfund is a Christian relief and development agency working with a global network of local churches to help eradicate poverty.

Our ten-year vision is to see 50 million people released from material and spiritual poverty through a worldwide network of 100,000 local churches.

We recognise that people’s needs aren’t only physical but spiritual – people need to have enough food, water and warmth to survive but they need hope to make life worth living. This integrated approach – recognising physical and spiritual needs - is the nature of integral mission – the mission we believe Christians are called to. This is how we work.

As an organisation we work through professional, accountable partners who themselves work with and through local churches. Why? Because they operate at the point of need and from within the need – through the local churches they mobilise. In our experience, this is the recipe for truly lasting, sustainable development.
