Why EU-CORD
We are people with a vision for a more just world working for organisations that address poverty, inequality and social exclusion, together with local groups and churches across the world.
We are a network unified by our concern for relief and development with European and Christian identities in common.
The network provides a space where we can partner to support each other in meeting our respective visions, and to lend a collective Christian voice to issues relating to social, economic and environment justice.
After 19 years, we count many successes but we recognise the numerous challenges still faced by those who are the poorest and most marginalised in the world – and so our work together continues.
