As the humanitarian organisation of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, ADRA is a faith-based organisation where faith, or religion, plays a role in the following ways: 

  1. Expression of Faith: ADRA was set up to demonstrate Christian values and duty – to serve all people, address social injustices, and demonstrate love and compassion through sustainable development projects and humanitarian work, irrespective of people’s religion.
  2. Recognition of Faith: ADRA acknowledges the importance of faith in people’s lives and engages with religious leaders of all faiths, where applicable, to strengthen community-focused programs.
  3. Supported by Faith: Generous donations from Seventh-day Adventist Christians globally provide ADRA’s core funding, which is leveraged by donor offices to access international resources, amplifying its impact.
  4. Practical Faith: Guided by Christian principles like honesty, ethics, and respect—values shared widely by people of various faiths and beliefs—ADRA operates with integrity and inclusivity as detailed in its code of conduct. 
  5. Global Faith: ADRA is part of a global network of ADRA offices and other Seventh-day Adventist institutions such as hospitals, schools and colleges. This network enables us to access expertise, opportunities and emergency support.
