The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) was initiated
by the Seventh-day Adventist church. The basis for its existence,
its reason for being, is to follow Christ's example by being a
voice for, serving, and partnering with those in need. ADRA seeks
to identify and address social injustice and deprivation in
developing countries. The agency's work seeks to improve the
quality of life of those in need. ADRA invests in the potential of
these individuals through community development initiatives
targeting Food Security, Economic Development, Primary Health and
Basic Education. ADRA's emergency management initiatives provide
aid to disaster survivors.
