Dorcas Aid International is a Christian relief and development organisation, committed to fulfil the command Jesus Christ gave to His followers to take care of the poor and oppressed (Matt. 25:31-46), irrespective of their race, religion, gender or political conviction. We operate in partnership with local churches and Christian organisations, awakening and empowering them to share the love of Christ through practical deeds. Dorcas began in 1980 as a small group of people in the Netherlands mainly focused on assisting those imprisoned for their faith under the communist regime. Now, over twenty years later, Dorcas Aid International is operating world-wide providing social, development and relief aid through over 100 projects in more than 20 countries (in Eastern Europe, former Soviet Union, Middle East, Eastern and Southern Africa. Dorcas Aid derives its name from a woman mentioned in the Bible: a follower of Christ living 2000 years ago, a few years after He had left for heaven. She was 'always doing good and helping the poor'(Acts 9:36). She was an example for the Christians of the early church.Specialties: Organizational,Building,Water &Grannies
