Our Vision & Staff

SCIAF's vision is of a world in which all people, especially the poor and oppressed, have the opportunity and the means to live life, and live it to the full.

Our Mission Statement is: Inspired by the Gospel call to build a just world, SCIAF challenges injustice by strengthening poor and oppressed people and by stimulating the Scottish public to share in our common struggle for human dignity.

This work would not be possible without the tireless dedication of all SCIAF staff and the support of numerous volunteers working both at SCIAF's office in Glasgow and in parishes and schools across Scotland.
