Standing up for those
in need
Investing in sustainable change
We are called to stand up for people in need. We take action in the face of poverty, exclusion and crises. We come alongside marginalised people and communities and jointly create opportunities for them to flourish.

How Dorcas supports older people
Older people have the right to be seen, heard and valued. However, poverty, isolation and limited access to social protection can leave many older people marginalised and excluded.
To mark the International Day of Older Persons on 1 October, we are raising awareness of the rights and dignity of older people.
Find out how Dorcas works with older people and their communities to promote connection, participation, and dignity.
New report: Building reliable vaue chains
Dorcas has published a new report, Building Reliable Value Chains: Lessons from Dorcas’ multi-country experience. The report explores what enables value chains to deliver reliable benefits for producers and where challenges remain. The report shares lessons from an independent evaluation of value chains across Kenya, Ethiopia and Tanzania. The findings challenge common assumptions and show that reliability, trusted systems and strong market connections are often more important than production growth alone.
