The basic aim of "Bread for the World" is to en- able the disadvantaged to live a dignified life.

"It is a Christian duty and simultaneously a political aim to provide daily bread to the poor. For Jesus says: "What you have done to the least amongst us, you have done to me." (Matthew. 25, 40) from "Justice for the Poor 2000. Challenges and Areas of Activity"

"Bread for the World" is a programme of help instigated by the protestant churches in Germany. It was set up in Berlin in 1959 and since then has been the responsibility of the "Diakonische Werk", the Social Service Agency of the Protestant Church in Germany (EKD). "Bread for the World" works jointly with local churches and partner organisations in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe on over 1,000 projects, all of which are aimed at helping people to help themselves. The motto behind our work is "justice for the poor".
