The Salvation Army’s International Development office supports community development by working in partnership with communities in Asia, Africa, and the Pacific.

Our focus is to work alongside communities to enable them to alleviate poverty. We believe that for any project to be successful it is crucial to train people and provide tools to enable them to achieve their full potential.

Our programs

We have a commitment to community development programs that deliver tangible change in key areas, including:

  • Empowering women
  • Health education and disease prevention and management
  • Education for children and adults
  • Improving access to clean water and sanitation
  • Livelihood and income-generation activities 

No one should have to fight for their survival. There are a number of ways you can help those in the developing world experience the freedoms and opportunities we enjoy.
