Adventist Development and Relief Agency

ADRA has been the official humanitarian agency of the Seventh-day Adventist Church since 1985. We work with communities in Canada and around the world to end extreme poverty and deliver emergency relief. In more than 100 countries we provide water, sanitation, health, food, education, and income opportunities so that all may live as God intended.

Our Purpose

To serve humanity so all may live as God intended.

Our Motto

Justice. Compassion. Love.
