Tearfund is an international Christian relief and development agency based in Teddington, UK.[1][2] It currently works in around 50 countries, with a primary focus on supporting those in poverty and providing disaster relief for disadvantaged communities.[3]
Tearfund states that it offers this support regardless of race or religious affiliation. However, they fulfil the work by operating largely through local Christian churches and other Christian partner organisations around the world.[3] The Mission of Tearfund is "to follow Jesus where the need is greatest, responding to crises and partnering with local churches and organisations to help people lift themselves out of poverty."
At the financial year end, 31 March 2023, the income of the charity was £85 million.[4]
