Justice. Compassion. Love.
In around 120 countries we provide water, sanitation, health, food, education, and income opportunities so that all may live as God intended. We are the official humanitarian agency of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Since 1985, we’ve strived to serve humanity, end extreme poverty, and deliver emergency relief.
The ADRA Europe Regional Office strengthens and connects a network of 31 national organisations working in humanitarian and development aid across Europe and beyond.
From our base in Brussels, we coordinate and support ADRA country offices to respond to crises, build inclusive communities, and improve lives. Through strategic guidance, capacity development, regional advocacy, and emergency coordination, we help ensure that the help you support as our partner is high-quality, accountable, and sustainable.
