We are here
From relief to recovery
ZOA operates in 14 insecure and volatile regions all over the world: serving uprooted people in war-torn South Sudan, displaced Yemenis and returnees in Iraq. ZOA also supports people who face hardship in the aftermath of earthquakes, hurricanes or floods. Inspired by our Christian faith, we provide assistance to the most vulnerable victims of displacement.

Our values
Our values guide the manner in which we complete our daily work. They are the basis on which we interact with each other and with our target groups.

We value people. All people are made in God’s image and we therefore place people at the centre of our work. We treat people with
respect and dignity, irrespective of ethnicity, gender, religion or age. We seek to enable people to live normal and peaceful lives, develop their potential, and to provide hope for the future.

We are faithful. We want to bring lasting change and are committed to stay when the initial crisis is over. Even when circumstances are challenging we seek to reach out to the most vulnerable.

We are good stewards. We utilise the resources entrusted to us in the best possible and most responsible way. We are efficient, effective, transparent, and accountable to those we support and those who support us.

We serve with integrity. We expect from each other the highest standards of personal and organisational integrity. We are open and honest in the way we deal and communicate with our stakeholders. We treat people with respect and speak the truth in love to one another.

Our Mission

We support 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.

Our Vision
We dream of peace, reconciliation and hope
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.
