\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\tOur fields of activity<\/h3>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t
Our understanding of mission is based on the belief that all people are created differently, but with equal value and dignity. Therefore, all people should have the same opportunity to live together in peace and justice, regardless of their ethnicity, gender, religion or geographical origin. We work towards this in respectful dialog with people of different religions and world views and are committed to the following fields of action International learning community<\/strong>\u00a0and International cooperation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t Do you have questions about the financing of our work, our understanding of mission or our global commitment? We have compiled the most frequently asked questions for you. \u25ba FAQs<\/a><\/p>\n As an international learning community, we create space for transcultural exchange and interreligious cooperation and promote an understanding of global connections: we enable participation in the global church, network committed young people in our global youth movement and advocate decolonization. This includes supporting historical research into the links between mission and colonialism as well as maintaining and cataloging our research archive with the aim of facilitating transparent research into missionary history. We also align our international cooperation with the principles of decolonization and work on an equal footing with our partner churches and partner organizations. \u25ba further information<\/a><\/p>\n In the field of international cooperation, we work with around 60 partner organizations in various areas to support particularly vulnerable people: We provide humanitarian aid in crises and conflicts and are involved in peacebuilding. We help to secure livelihoods by providing education, promoting basic medical care and food sovereignty. We firmly oppose violence against women and children and support educational activities for social change. We also encourage our partner organizations to align their activities with the principles of good governance and to commit to respecting human rights. We are committed to gender equality and climate justice in all our programs and projects.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n .<\/p>\n In many partner countries, tensions or violence are on the rise. We work at eye level with local people to resolve conflicts and structural violence peacefully. We work to prevent violence against women and children. Religious or ethnic aspects often play an important role in conflicts. Mission 21 brings its expertise in interreligious and intercultural peacebuilding to bear here.<\/p>\n \u25ba to our projects<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t Education enables people to shape their own lives and take responsibility in society. We promote literacy in our partner countries: basic education projects for reading, writing and arithmetic. We enable vocational training and adult education. We promote the self-confidence of people from marginalized population groups so that they can work independently for a life in dignity.<\/p>\n \u25ba to our projects<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t In many of our partner countries, religious and political fundamentalism is on the rise, threatening indigenous groups, human rights, democracy and environmental concerns. Mission 21 promotes theological education that enables people to critically reflect on social developments and develop in constructive dialog with other disciplines and religions. In this way, we empower people who work as \"ambassadors of change\" for peace, social justice and environmental protection.<\/p>\n \u25ba to our projects<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t The right to food is a fundamental human right. Although enough food is produced globally, around 870 million people go hungry and another billion are chronically malnourished. Climate change poses additional challenges for particularly vulnerable people. Mission 21 supports projects that enable measures to combat the consequences of climate change and promote healthy nutrition. We are committed to environmental protection and climate justice.<\/p>\n \u25ba to our projects<\/a><\/p>\n \u25ba An overview of our projects for food sovereignty and climate justice for download as pdf (German)<\/a><\/p>\n \u25ba Website with in-depth information on our commitment to environmental protection and climate justice\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t For over one billion people worldwide, access to healthcare is not guaranteed. Mission 21 helps people in remote and rural areas access healthcare. We support projects that promote the sexual and reproductive health of vulnerable populations. We are committed to the fight against HIV and discrimination against people living with HIV.<\/p>\n \u25ba to our projects<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t Mission 21 is active in countries where crises and conflicts have a severe impact on people's everyday lives. We are particularly active in places where government agencies and other aid organizations have withdrawn. Together with our partner organizations, we provide humanitarian action in the form of food aid, medical care and the distribution of tents, blankets and hygiene articles, as well as activities that give internally displaced people a new perspective on life. In line with the \"Triple Nexus\", we combine humanitarian action with peace-building measures and support for an independent future.<\/p>\n \u25ba to our projects<\/a><\/p>\nFrequently asked questions<\/h4>\n
