TEARFUND IS A CHRISTIAN CHARITY, CALLED TO FOLLOW JESUS WHEREVER THE NEED IS GREATEST AROUND THE WORLD.

We help communities overcome the worst effects of poverty and disasters – we believe that the same people who face these issues, also have the best idea as to how they can overcome them.

Tearfund works alongside local churches and other locally-based organisations in over 50 countries to help people realise their plans for a better future.

In 50 years we've seen millions of lives restored and we won’t stop until poverty stops. Together there's more we can do.

WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED

In 2006, Tearfund launched a ten-year vision to see 50 million people released from material and spiritual poverty through a worldwide network of 100,000 churches.

This is what we achieved during those ten years, thanks to your support.

More than 132,000 churches envisioned. Churches living out faith in Jesus in every aspect of life, recognising that people are more than their hunger or despair – they are made in God's image.

Over 29 million people reached through community development projects. People living in communities that can demonstrate longer term positive changes to their livelihoods, health, relationships and environment.

Over 300 unjust or harmful policies changed. Policies and practices changed at local, national and international level resulting in transformation in the lives of poor and vulnerable people.

Over 12 million people supported following natural or man made disasters. These are people who can now face the future with hope – better prepared to rebuild their livelihoods and withstand future crises.
