ADRA, the global humanitarian organisation of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, is dedicated to delivering relief and development support to individuals in more than 120 countries – regardless of their ethnicity, political affiliation, gender, or religious association. By partnering with local communities, organisations, and governments, we ensure our programs are culturally appropriate and empower local capacities for sustainable change.
