Misereor is committed to helping people worldwide who are denied a life of dignity and freedom, regardless of skin color, origin, gender or religion. Together with partners in Africa, Asia and Latin America, Misereor helps people to improve their lives sustainably. In Germany and Europe, the organization draws attention to the causes of injustice, poverty and climate change and calls for political change.
In 2018, Misereor set up a Dialogue and Liaison Office (DVS) in Bamako to strengthen cooperation in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. The DVS promotes dialog, supports development projects and is in close contact with local and international partners.
