ZOA
ZOA is an international relief and recovery organisation. We provide relief to people affected by violent conflicts and natural disasters in fragile contexts. We also assist them during their recovery from the crisis.
ZOA operates in 12 insecure and volatile regions all over the world: serving uprooted people in war-torn Sudan, displaced South Sudanese and returnees in Ethiopia. ZOA also supports people who face hardship in the aftermath of earthquakes, hurricanes or floods. Inspired by our Christian faith, we support vulnerable people affected by conflicts and disasters by helping them to realise dignified and resilient lives.
The countries in which ZOA is currently present are Burundi, Colombia, DR Congo, Ethiopia, Myanmar, Nigeria, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Uganda, Ukraine and Yemen.
