Annual Report
Tearfund Netherlands is a Christian charity which partners with churches in more than 20 of the world’s poorest countries. We tackle poverty and injustice through sustainable development, by responding to disasters and challenging injustice. We believe an end to extreme poverty is possible.
Thousands of people needlessly suffer and die every day because of poverty. But that’s not God’s plan for the world. And God is calling you – all of us – to reach out to people in greatest need. We partner with local churches and organisations who have a crucial role to play in the places worst affected by poverty.
That is our mission and in 2020 we have seen it happen again. A very remarkable year in history. 2020 will be remembered as the year of COVID-19. The economic, social and health crisis that COVID-19 has caused has tested our resilience, perseverance, faith and adaptability. In 2020, through our structural projects, we have been able to support 76,086 people and provide humanitarian assistance to 298,756 people in emergency situations. In addition, we were able to collaborate with 1,332 churches worldwide!
