As one of the largest Finnish civil society organisations working in global development Felm also receives funding from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland and the European Union.
Felm’s work aims to promote human dignity and justice around the world. The Christian message of faith, hope and neighbourly love has been the cornerstone of our work for over 160 years.
