WHAT WE DO
TACKLING POVERTY & INJUSTICE
WE WORK TO TRANSFORM LIVES
We work with Christians in the Middle East to tackle poverty and injustice in the region. Where there is a need – for refuge, a home, for health care, for education, for justice and human rights – we, with our partners, respond. We currently work with Christians in Egypt, Iraq, Israel-Palestine, Lebanon and Syria, supporting health, education and community projects, which bring vital services to those at risk of marginalisation and exclusion.
WE WORK IN PARTNERSHIP
Partnership is at the centre of Embrace’s vision of transformation. We support, enable and partner with the Middle East’s Christians as they work to transform lives and restore the dignity of the most excluded and marginalised communities. As the Arab saying goes, ‘there is bread and salt between us’. It means we sit at the table as equals, in an alliance of fellowship.
We currently have over 40 courageous, inspired, creative and skilled partners in the region. All are working to transform lives; all are inspired by the Gospel.
