World Relief Germany partners with people of disadvantaged communities through relief and development assistance, in the three areas as established in 2007: Development-oriented Emergency Aid; Health, Water & Nutrition; and Education & Livelihoods.

World Relief Germany is a signatory to the Code of Conduct for ICRC, The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and NGOs in Disaster Relief, a set of basic professional principles which set standards for good practice in disaster relief.

History

PartnerAid was first established in 1998 by a group of Christians determined to make an active contribution and provide aid and assistance on a voluntary basis, to overcome suffering and poverty in the countries of Central and South Asia. In 2014, its name changed to World Relief Germany after partnering with World Relief.

To date, World Relief Germany has implemented activities in six countries, mainly in the Middle East, and is currently operational in Iraq, Jordan, Pakistan, Somaliland, Syria and Yemen. The number of beneficiaries from activities in World Relief Germany's main project locations in 2016 totaled 130.341 in eight countries, with expenditure totaling €2,340,900.
