Right now, we’re working in more than fifty countries around the world, responding to disasterscampaigning for justicehelping churches do whatever it takes to get close and stay close to the people who need them.

Tearfund has a big vision which we've been bringing into being since 1968. We know there's God-given-potential in poor communities. We work with local churches to unlock this potential. With your help, we've seen millions escape extreme poverty - permanently. 

We’re aiming high. We have a vision to see 50 million people released from material and spiritual poverty through a worldwide network of 100,000 local churches.
 
Driven by a relentlessly loving God, we won't stop, or pause. Will you?
