WHO ARE EMBRACE THE MIDDLE EAST?
OUR VISION
As a Christian development charity, we partner with Christians in the Middle East as they work to transform lives and restore the dignity of the most excluded and marginalised communities. Where there is a need – for refuge, a home, for health care, for education, for justice and human rights – we, with our partners, respond. Our goal is to contribute to a culture of human flourishing in a troubled region.
OUR PARTNERS
We currently have 40 courageous, inspired, creative and skilled partners in the region, providing education, healthcare and community support. All are working to transform the lives of those most forgotten and on the margins; all are inspired by the Gospel. We feel deeply privileged to work in partnership with Christians in the Middle East and honoured to be able to bring their witness closer to people in this country.
