Welcome

“Together in diaconal action – united in diversity across Africa and Europe“

DIAKONIA REGION AFRICA-EUROPE e.V. (DRAE) is one of the three regions of the DIAKONIA World Federation, a worldwide community of diaconal organisations rooted in the Christian faith.

We connect Christian communities, diaconal organisations, church institutions and social networks. Together, we stand up for diversity, dignity, justice and faith in action. We foster dialogue and fellowship, strengthen collaboration and raise the profile of diaconal work. Through meetings, conferences and joint initiatives, we support our members organisations and further develop diaconal practice.

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.
