Farmers of three countries refuse to get into debts and instead remember their traditional knowledge, which has been handed down from generation to generation. Innovative and versatile, they secure sustainable harvests, develop their own markets and contribute to the conservation of the environment.

EED supports churches, Christian organisations and non-government organisations whose work promotes social justice.

It does this by means of:

• financial contributions to projects and programmes of partners,
• the secondment of qualified personnel,
• scholarships and
• consultancy services.

Our goals

• to empower those who are poor, disadvantaged and oppressed for the betterment of their own lives;
• to enable people to take part in decision-making processes;
• to strive for the protection of civil and social human rights;
• to create equal opportunities for women and men;
• to promote peace and overcome violence;
• to further the protection and nurturing of the natural environment.
