More information
Progressio has undergone many changes in its 70 years, but we have always stayed true to our core values and our determination to speak out against injustice and help eradicate poverty. Although The Sword initially focused on oppression in eastern Europe, it began to widen its attention to the international stage and to address issues such as food aid and human rights. We ask groups that authentically represent poor and marginalised people what help they need in order to tackle poverty. Then we send highly-skilled people to work with grassroots organisations in developing countries. Together, they do what is needed to improve the lives of thousands of people in poor communities.
