Ecumenical Humanitarian Organization Information

The Ecumenical Humanitarian Organization (EHO) is a non-for-profit citizens’ association that continues the work of the Ecumenical Humanitarian Service, from Novi Sad, founded on 19th February 1993 on the initiative of the World Council of Churches (WCC). Our work is focused on providing direct assistance and meeting basic needs, through education, employment, participation and mobilization of local communities. One of our main goals, as always has been, we have sought to empower our beneficiaries and together with them work on poverty reduction, social inclusion and developing civil society. To fully understand EHO you must understand our core values, our mission and vision as our beginnings. EHO has shown itself to be an open and flexible organization, successfully meeting the challenges placed before it and society as a whole by the process of reform, the democratization of Serbia and the process of European integration. Today EHO enjoys the reputation of an organization that tackles broad social issues. EHO will continue to promote activism in churches and will work on mobilizing resources in local communities in order to improve the status of the most vulnerable social groups. EHO’s VALUES are: • human rights, equality and human dignity; • peace and reconciliation; • interfaith cooperation; • solidarity, social justice and inclusion; • sustainable development; • responsibility, efficiency and transparency; • a participative approach.
