Our projects primarily focus on health, education, wash (water, sanitation and hygiene), food security and peacebuilding.
We are currently active in seven countries. In addition, we support the programs of our partner Tearfund UK in a further countries.
Poverty, injustice, suffering, and conflict define the everyday lives of many people across the globe. As an organization we see the amazing potential of every community and individual and work to partner with them to seek creative and sometimes unconventional approaches to find a way out of these challenging situations. We see reconciliation as the main avenue for which positive change will happen and thus our motto of “reconciliation in action” means finding a balance in all of our relationships – with God, ourselves, one another, and with our environment.
We are active in a number of countries of the Middle East where projects are coordinated by our local staff and carried out in partnership with the local communities. These include Yemen, Pakistan, Syria, Jordan, Somalia (Somaliland), Turkey and Iraq.
Tearfund Germany has roughly 80 staff members, seven of whom work in the International Office in Berlin
“At Tearfund Germany, the values of prayer, genuine relationships and lived charity are visible inwardly and outwardly. It touches me again and again that words and deeds fit together here. I thank Tearfund Germany from the bottom of my heart for their dedicated and professional way of working – especially in regions which (from the international community) are otherwise hardly noticed and supported.”
“One of my favorite aspects of Tearfund Germany is that our focus is not to make a big name for ourselves, and it’s not about expanding the organization, but our focus is on the people we serve. I love to work for an organization that focuses on the long-term interests of those we serve. ”
The 2017 Annual Report gives an overview of our organization and our country projects.
