International Development
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.
