About ADRA Canada:

Established in 1985, the Adventist Development and Relief Agency Canada (ADRA) was created by the Seventh-day Adventist Church with a mission to work with people in poverty and distress to create positive change through partnerships and responsible action. ADRA Canada is part of the ADRA network, which has a presence in approximately 120 countries. It is committed to improving the quality of human life and to helping those in need, the most vulnerable, such as women and children. ADRA was granted General Consultative Status by the UN in 1997.

ADRA Canada’s work is divided into the two main areas of development and relief across six sectors: water and sanitation, food security, education, health, income generation and emergency response. It receives funds from various sources, identifies projects that target specific needs, then provides funding, monitoring and evaluation of those projects to ensure desired outcomes are achieved.

In F2014, ADRA’s work in emergency and disaster response benefitted over 750,000 individuals worldwide. Its international development projects benefitted close to 78,000 people worldwide. With a mission of reducing death rates of young children and their mothers, the Cambodian SMILE project has helped 3500 women and children. It is funded by Canadian supporters and budgeted to cost $2.6m. Through its food security program in Rwanda, ADRA has helped 6080 families to grow sufficient food from their home gardens and is budgeted to cost $2.6m.
