Mission
Inspired by Faith in Christ, we support vulnerable and at-risk populations as facilitators and facilitators in their sustainable development processes and in the full exercise of their civil, political, economic, social, cultural and environmental rights.
Vision
We aspire to a fair, inclusive, proactive and supportive society that values and respects its cultural diversity, protects its environment and strengthens a dignified life.
Principles
Love for our neighbour: DIACONIA's Christian service is based on this love; it is the driving force behind our work to support the development of people who do not have the opportunity to achieve a dignified life by their own means. Support is given unconditionally, without asking for anything in return. Love has a divine origin, because God loved us first. There is no Christianity without love.
Faith: Believing in God, trusting in his word and being faithful to his will, in institutional and personal work.
Values
Wisdom: To be facilitators of the shared management of knowledge, in order to contribute to the construction of a just society.
Solidarity: Assume the problems of others as our own and act taking into account their aspirations. It implies attitudes of detachment, humility, service, willingness, commitment and sensitivity towards others.
Hope: Sowing confidence in a better future, with greater justice and protection for those most in need.
Goals Our focus
The implementation of these approaches is possible through the design and execution of projects in five lines of action
