The fish, the candle, and the rosary — all are powerful symbols of the Christian faith. But what can they tell us about humanitarian work?In this episode, we explore what it really means to be a faith based ngo.To do so, we’ve brought together five leaders — from different countries, backgrounds, and faith traditions — who share the responsibility of leading some of the world’s major faith-based aid organisations. On a busy Wednesday in Copenhagen, we gathered all five in one studio to talk about the values — and the challenges — of being a faith based organisation. Participants:Maria Krabbe Hammershøy, Secretary General, Caritas DenmarkJens Vesterager, Secretary General, ADRATetiana Stawnychy, President, Caritas UkraineAnahit Mkhoyan, Secretary General, Caritas GeorgiaJonas Vejsager Nøddekær, Secretary General, DanChurchAid – Folkekirkens Nødhjælp📽Watch the conversation as a video podcast here: https://youtu.be/J4eNPDxctO8Learn more about… Caritas — rooted in the Catholic Church, a global network with projects across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America.ADRA — the Adventist Development and Relief Agency, founded in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, working across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.DanChurchAid — grounded in the Danish Lutheran tradition, active in more than twenty countries, particularly in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.‘A Sign of Hope’ is a podcast series produced by the podcast bureau hearHEAR for Caritas Denmark with support from the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
