About ZOAZOA is a Christian international NGO which offers RELIEF to people who are affected by conflict or natural disasters. ZOA wants to contribute to a new perspective of HOPE in which people work together for a promising future in dignity and mutual trust.

Its present implementation portfolio is around Euro 4 million per annum. One third of its work is implemented via long-term partners.
