ZOA

Mission Statement

ZOA Refugee Care supports refugees, internally displaced, returnees and others affected by conflict or natural disaster in their transition from instability and lack of basic needs towards a situation in which conditions enabling a process of structural development have been re-established.
This support is practised
irrespective of race, religion or social background of beneficiaries,
through the implementation of relief and rehabilitation programmes,
by partners with local capacity and/or through ZOA’s own operational presence,
with funding from ZOA‘s own constituency, the general public and institutional donors,
according to high standards of professionalism.
