Who we are
We are pioneering a new movement in humanitarian aid: fast, flexible, transparent and accountable.
We are a lean, passionate team driving a fast-paced global movement across 15 countries.
We have raised millions to support refugees and created a movement of people putting love into action around the world.
About Choose Love
Choose Love does whatever it takes to provide refugees and displaced people with everything from lifesaving search and rescue boats to food and legal advice. We elevate the voices and visibility of refugees and galvanise public support for agile community organisations providing vital support to refugees along migration routes globally.
Our values
We are Choose Love. We strive to ensure that we do no harm to those whose lives we touch. We always want our impact to be positive and will always work towards making it this way. Our aim is that those we assist are able to say that their lives (and prospects) have been improved by permitting us to assist them, by bringing them dignity, hope, respect and humanity.
Human dignity
We believe in treating everyone with humanity and respect.
Acting quickly
We move fast to help where the need is greatest.
Building community
We always prioritise working with local organisations and refugees themselves.
Speaking out
We speak out against injustice. We believe in advocating for long term change.
Empowering people
We aim to enable refugees to take control over their lives with our work.
Staying independent
We will always be an independent organisation, funded by people like you.
