Strategy
Woord en Daad ’s activities entails these aspects:
- Fighting poverty in developing countries: based on an chained approach -from boarder to breadwinner-
- Enhancing awareness among our supporters: make our supporters aware of the causes and consequences of poverty.
- Maintaining interests of the very poorest. If necessary, we claim attention for the position of these people to political establishment, press and business community.
We work on three themes:
- Education
- Job & Income (vocational training, guidance, micro businesses)
- Basic Needs and Emergency aid
High quality and low cost
Woord en Daad works with highly qualified and motivated personnel. We also meet quality standards like ISO. We ensure that at least 90% of every donated euro is spent for poverty reduction.
