Compassion in action
When you join Medair you are contributing to a greater purpose. Your professional skills are highly valued, as is your personal commitment and servant leadership. You join an organisation that is respected for technical expertise in delivering humanitarian aid, and for partnering with local communities to provide effective solutions during crisis. You bring hope to people who are suffering and you join a team that shares your values.
Our culture is unique. We work hard, pray together, and share life with one another. Our field teams are dynamic and multicultural. We are small enough to consider one another family, and agile enough to respond rapidly to new emergencies.

Our Values
Our core values are what unite us together and motivate us to strive for excellence in all we do.
DIGNITY
We believe that each person has been made in God’s image and is therefore uniquely valuable and worthy of the highest respect. Consequently, we reach out to all those in need, irrespective of their race, gender, religion, age, or nationality. Wherever possible we personalise our assistance, taking individual needs and circumstances into account, and respecting the dignity and independence of the people we serve.
HOPE
We seek to bring hope to people devastated by crisis and caught in apparently hopeless situations. Together with the communities we serve, we strive to make sustainable improvements and increase their capacity to build a better future.
COMPASSION
We desire to relieve human suffering in times of crisis, disaster, and conflict. We seek out people who are the most vulnerable, come alongside them and offer practical support through relief and rehabilitation initiatives.
ACCOUNTABILITY
We are committed to employ best practices in our management and operations, pursuing excellence in all we do. We make ourselves accountable to our supporters, our staff, and those we serve, and seek input from them to help us improve our activities and procedures.
FAITH
We are motivated to care for those who suffer because we follow Jesus Christ, who taught us to love God and to care for those in need. Our faith inspires us to give our best in all circumstances. By faith we pray for wisdom when facing difficult decisions, and for courage to live and work in demanding and often dangerous situations.
INTEGRITY
We strive to live out our values and principles consistently at every level of the organisation, and in every location – from the remotest team to the international headquarters. Our desire is that as we work together in teams, our attitudes, words, and actions will be true to Medair’s vision and character.
JOY
As we work together to serve people in great need, we choose to nurture life-giving joy that comes from our Creator and gives us strength in the midst of the challenges we face and the suffering we encounter. Therefore, we seek to be thankful, to be united and at peace with one another, to share our burdens with and encourage one another, and to celebrate together.

Our faith foundation
Our foundation of Christian faith motivates us to care for those who suffer and inspires us to strive for excellence. Applying our professional skills to meet the most critical needs of people who are in crisis demonstrates God’s love to the world. We respond with compassion, and as a neutral and impartial humanitarian organisation we deliver relief based on need and regardless of race, religion, age, gender, or political affiliation.
Our International Staff and those working at our Global Support Offices are asked to be fully committed to our values and to contribute to the rich spiritual life of our organisation. Our National Staff are asked to fully respect the Medair values when working with us.
