Our Work

We believe communities have the best solutions to their problems, so we identify local organisations around the world to partner with and empower, to help create positive change.

 

Tearfund works in four key areas:

Anti-Trafficking & Exploitation

Modern Slavery

We believe people are not commodities so we combat human trafficking to protect people from modern slavery and exploitation.

Child Sponsorship

Child Development

We believe childhood is a basic human right and every child deserves to be loved, protected and released from poverty in Jesus' name. We sponsor children through our partner, Compassion International.

Disaster Recovery and Peace Building

Disasters and Conflict

We believe we're to respond to those in need, so we help restore and build resilience in communities devastated by natural disasters and conflict.

Empower people to help themselves

Farming and Enterprise

We believe people have a right to make a living and provide for their family, so we empower people through farming and enterprise.

Where we work

Tearfund brings hope to vulnerable communities with local partners in 17 countries, through Disaster and Conflict, Modern Slavery, and Farming and Enterprises initiatives. We also partner with Compassion International in 25 countries to provide holistic child development support through local church partners.
