Our organisation

For nearly 100 years, Mensen met een Missie has been working worldwide to change beliefs that lead to hatred and violence. By starting the dialogue. Prevent violence before it begins. We do this together with hundreds of collaborating partners and the help of our donors. Together we work towards a world where people talk to each other instead of fighting.
