Objective

Following Christ's example, we stand up for the Kurds. We meet their physical and spiritual needs by sharing the gospel and providing practical help. We represent and strengthen the growing community of Kurdish Christians so that they, in turn, can serve others through Word and Deed.

Our mission becomes visible in three pillars:

Gospel and testimony

We share the gospel of Jesus Christ in the Kurdish language through digital channels such as podcasts, videos, articles and social media.

🤝
Help and mercy

We offer practical help to Kurds in need, in cooperation with local partners and regardless of ethnic or religious background.

Law and justice

We stand up for religious freedom and the rights of persecuted Kurdish Christians, based on the biblical principle of law and justice.

Remuneration policy

100%
Board fully unpaid

The board of Rozia Foundation works entirely unpaid. Board members receive no remuneration for their work. Expenses incurred can be claimed on a receipt basis and are always approved by a board member other than the one who incurred the expense.

The director currently works on a voluntary basis. Volunteers receive no remuneration other than the legally permitted volunteer allowance. Expenditure above €500 requires approval from several directors (four-eye principle).


Chapter 6

Fundraising and spending

Rozia Foundation raises income from gifts from private donors, contributions from churches and congregations, and grants from funds and organisations. Resources are deployed for the purpose of achieving the objective. Management costs are in reasonable proportion to expenditure, and the board monitors this.

Rozia Foundation does not hold more assets than reasonably necessary for continuity of operations. Upon dissolution, any surplus balance will be spent on an ANBI with a similar objective.
