Rescue Mission works alongside people facing poverty, exclusion and hardship, with particular attention to children, women and families. Its published approach brings together urgent support, education, healthcare, community empowerment and partnerships.
We believe that people and communities should be equipped with knowledge, skills and practical opportunities to shape their own futures. Our published work places insight, empowerment, transparency and partnership at the heart of that ambition.
Focus on children, women and families facing the greatest barriers.
Listen to community voices before shaping activities.
Combine immediate assistance with skills and livelihoods.
Work with supporters, partners and local leaders.
Our website connects practical action to people’s dignity and a greater say in their own lives. The ideas on this page are drawn from Rescue Mission’s published descriptions of its mission and programme areas.
A closer look at one activity or example described in Rescue Mission’s public materials.
