ZOA

ZOA  supports refugees, internally displaced, returnees and host communities 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. The programmes are implemented by partners with local capacity and/or through ZOA’s own operational presence, with funding from ZOA‘s own constituency of around 80,000 individuals, mainly in The Netherlands, and from institutional donors, according to high standards of professionalism.

Our Mission

ZOA supports people who suffer because of armed conflict or natural disasters, by helping them to rebuild their homes and their livelihoods and to live peacefully together in stable communities.

By working alongside communities, we ensure people’s participation in rebuilding their lives and making them self-sufficient, living peacefully together in stable communities. To accomplish our mission, we work with a wide variety of donors and partners. Where possible, we enter into
partnerships with diverse actors ranging from community based organizations and NGOs to governments and companies.

Our Vision

We believe that God calls us to bring peace, reconciliation, and hope to a broken world. We work towards a world where people have hope and live dignified lives in peaceful communities. We believe that one day we will experience true peace.
