Emmanuel International UK
Partnering with churches in serving their communities
We are a Christian charity who builds relationships with local churches in the areas we work in. Our projects build the self-reliance and dignity of those involved. They meet basic needs and use simple technology that’s easy to replicate.
Emmanuel International UK has been established as a charity on 28 February 1978. We are part of an international organisation with national affiliates and project countries all over the world.

How we work
Emmanuel International works in Developing Countries world-wide through practical, caring action and culturally sensitive mission – to meet the needs of people practically, spiritually and emotionally. We go to some of the most needy areas of the world to serve people less fortunate than ourselves.
EI has a proven record of commitment, care and compassion in meeting the needs of hundreds of thousands of people regardless of their race, gender, colour or religion.
Our work is…
Self-Reliant
Our projects build the self-reliance and dignity of those involved.
Practical
Simple projects that meet basic needs and use simple technology, easy to replicate.
Holistic
We attend to the needs of the whole person: spiritual, emotional, social and physical.
Impartial
Seeking to meet the needs of the disadvantaged regardless of their race, gender, age or religion.
Relational
Working alongside the Christian church in countries that are in need to bring good news to the poor.
What we do
We meet the needs of people regardless of their race, gender, colour or religion. We work under the authority of local churches because we are there to serve people, not dictate to them what we think they need. Our projects address the needs identified by the local church, in collaboration with the communities they serve. Find out more about what we do on the Our Work page.
Stay in touch
We publish regular updates on our projects in a monthly magazine, Down to Earth, and a quarterly publication, BushNet.
We really appreciate prayer for our work and also publish a monthly prayer calendar with ideas on what to pray for.
