Compassion for those less fortunate is central to AKDN’s ethics. It can take the form of donations of material wealth, but it can also be gifts of time, knowledge, expertise and skills. To that end, AKDN creates schools and hospitals, newspapers and electricity plants, parks and museums – and many other institutions that improve the quality of life for hundreds of millions of people around the world.
