ADRA serves millions of women, children, and men around the world in some of the toughest, hardest-to-reach places on earth—from the DRC to Yemen and from Madagascar to Mongolia.
We implement across vital sectors that save lives and ensure positive change including, Food Security, WASH, Agriculture, Economic Recovery, and Emergency response.
ADRA is among the most reliable partners, as we are driven by a deep sense of commitment to improving the lives of people going through the worst moments of their lives. ADRA is dedicated to responsible implementation of our programming and the safeguarding of all those who encounter us.
ADRA is a network of 115+ locally organized and locally governed NGOs. When advantageous to achieving the goal of alleviating suffering, ADRA works collaboratively with other NGOs, and the Adventist network of locally organized and controlled schools, universities, clinics, hospitals and, during emergency responses, local volunteers.
Changing the world through 4 impact areas and multiple sectors.
We divide our work into our foundational pillars: Health, Education, Livelihoods and Emergencies. Of course, due to the nature of the work, some projects/sectors do fall under one or more of our pillars.
Health
Building healthy communities through access to safe water sources, nutritious food, child and maternal health, and so much more.

Livelihoods
Planting seeds for a more prosperous future by providing the training, support, and resources needed to improve incomes and expand opportunities.
Emergency
Providing relief in crises doesn’t end when the initial response is complete, but continues as homes, lives, and communities are rebuilt and prepared for what’s next.
