Our Strategy

Evidence, partnership and meaningful opportunities to move beyond poverty.

Our purpose in practice

Rescue Mission’s stated strategy is to work with communities and partners to tackle the conditions that drive poverty, inequality and exclusion. Its approach links immediate human needs with education, health, advocacy and livelihoods.

The website emphasises evidence-based decisions, local knowledge and community self-reliance. The programme areas below arrange those existing priorities into a clear webpage journey; they are not new commitments or unpublished targets.

01

Education

Promote access to safe, inclusive learning.

02

Health and nutrition

Improve access to healthcare and essentials.

03

Community livelihoods

Help families strengthen economic opportunities.

04

Justice and voice

Support advocacy and fair treatment.

A shared commitment

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.

Help turn these priorities into action.

Build a Safe School: a published programme example

A closer look at one activity or example described in Rescue Mission’s public materials.

The programme context

On its Education page, Rescue Mission presents a Build a Safe School project associated with Haiti, Burkina Faso and Mozambique. It describes attention to girls’ schooling, school facilities and practical barriers such as sanitation and access to supplies. This example illustrates how an education priority connects with wider community wellbeing.

WHAT MATTERS

The challenge is understood through people’s lives and circumstances.

WHY IT MATTERS

How strategic priorities connect

A child’s ability to learn may depend on a safe school, adequate nutrition, clean water and household stability. The Rescue Mission site presents these needs as linked rather than isolated, with local partners helping identify the most relevant response.

02 . PARTNER

Agree action with communities and organisations.

03. DELIVER
