JOA’s mission is to translate the generosity, skills and compassion of the people of Jersey into effective assistance for the world’s most vulnerable people.

JOA concentrates its development grants on six countries selected for their need, low levels of corruption and strength of relationship with Jersey. Our target countries are Ethiopia, Malawi, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Zambia and Nepal. JOA also supports Jersey Charities working overseas and provides humanitarian assistance in many other countries.
