Help that has a vision for the future

After a disaster, once initial emergency aid measures have been completed, people are often left to face hopeless circumstances. The interest of the world public soon diminishes, diverted by more recent events. Other victims of poverty and misery are not even noticed by the media and aid organizations in the first place. They wait for help in vain.

In order for people not to be permanently dependent on foreign help – or to wait for it in vain – and for them to be able to live self-determined lives of dignity, Nehemia provides development aid. That means helping people help themselves in all kinds of ways, aiming for long-term, lasting, structural change.
