Community Care & Development

The calling of The Salvation Army under God cannot be fully understood without facing up to and addressing issues of social relief and justice. The Army senses strongly the ongoing impulse of God to be at the disposal of the neediest in our communities. This is expressed in local initiatives to put right those wrongs that are found in communities, such as deprivation of food and water, lack of shelter, inadequate access to education, the sale of pornography, and the exploitation of women and children for sexual purposes. In this section, you will read of the efforts being made by members of The Salvation Army to address the needs for social relief and justice in communities through the organisation’s formal community care and development work.
