As a regional network, we connect Christian communities, diaconal organisations, church institutions and social networks that are committed to diversity, dignity, justice and living faith.

We foster cultural exchange, Christian fellowship and mutual learningand support our member organisations in their diaconal work as an expression of their faith by strengthening cooperation and making their impact visible. Through meetings, conferences and collaborative initiatives, we support our members and promote diaconal engagement in diverse contexts.

In a world shaped by social, economic and climate-related challenges, strong partnerships are needed to learn from each other, help one another and develop sustainable solutions. DRAE brings organisations together with partners and supporters to create hope, encourage people and foster long-term change worldwide through diaconal action.
