Our Community Roots
Rooted in Compassion. Powered by Community.
ADRA’s work is grounded in the compassion and service values of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Through thousands of volunteers across Europe and around the entire globe, congregations actively support community initiatives, emergency responses, and local projects.
This strong community base enables ADRA to reach deeper into neighbourhoods, respond and scale rapidly when crises hit, and collaborate closely with local partners.
