Cordaid
Basic Informations
Cordaid was established in the year 2000 when several Dutch aid organisations joined forces. But our history goes back more than a century.
One of our predecessors, People in Need, was founded in 1914 to meet the needs of more than one million refugees who fled to the Netherlands during the First World War. 1925 was the birth year of Memisa, another member of the Cordaid family. Memisa quickly became a leading healthcare organisation.
As of 2021, ICCO and Cordaid have joined forces. By doing so we have increased our impact in addressing global challenges, defragmented the Dutch development sector, and adapted to the changing needs in international cooperation.

Vision
We believe in a world where people can break through barriers of poverty and exclusion, and influence decisions that affect them. A world with an economy not driven by greed and growth, but by inclusivity, social justice, and gender equality. We believe all humans are one family, and see the earth, with all its resources, as our common home.
Mission
Our mission
We operate in the fragile and volatile settings of countries like South Sudan, Afghanistan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Where communities and governments alike struggle to absorb and mitigate economic, political, and environmental shocks and risks. And where a lot of citizens do not have access to even the most basic services, due to poverty or armed conflict.
We address these causes of fragility. We support local communities, service providers, and frontline aid workers in creating food security, offering health care and education, assuring access to justice, and promoting gender equality. We empower people economically, facilitate jobs, and foster inclusive economic growth.
