ACT Alliance

Koinonia is an ecumenical service organization, constituted by people of different religious traditions, brought together in a non-profit, non-governmental organization. Its mission is to mobilize ecumenical solidarity and to provide services to groups that are historically and culturally vulnerable and to those in the process of social and political emancipation. To this end, it develops study, information and educational programs acting through networks and searches for democratic spaces that guarantee justice and human rights – economic, social, cultural and environmental – and the promotion of ecumenism, the ecumenical movement and its liberation values at national and international levels.

Two Fundamental Axes are at the base of all practice and reflections of KOINONIA: 1) Ecumenism – understood in its tri-dimensionality, i. e, the search for Christian Unity; alliance with groups and individuals in Civil Society that struggle for peace and justice; and inter-religious dialogue; and 2) Overcoming Violence - understanding violence as any violation of rights as to assert that all of KOINONIA's action is guided by the affirmation of Human Rights.
