Mission East is a Danish international relief and development organisation working in crisis-affected countries in the former Soviet Union, the Middle East, Asia and Africa. Founded in 1991 and based on Christian values, we deliver emergency relief during disasters as well as long-term development assistance. Mission East works to support vulnerable people and help local communities lift themselves out of poverty and marginalisation. We work directly with our beneficiaries or through local and international partners. We constantly strive to strengthen the relevance, effect and sustainability of our programmes.

Mission East has been engaged in humanitarian and development work in Lebanon and Syria through partners since 2019. To date, these interventions have centered around food security, livelihoods recovery, protection, and emergency response. Mission East obtained independent registration in Syria in 2022.
