Three reasons

Changed but the same.

With the same values that have guided us since the launch of TearFund, we are moving boldly into the digital future. Together with new generations of donors.
  • Our identity

    Shared values

    Since the beginning, we have followed the same values. They have shaped us into who we are today. And they are the reason we are now taking a bold step into the future with a fresh new look.

  • Changes

    New on the outside, tried and true on the inside

    We have always aimed for professional and innovative development cooperation and emergency aid. In recent years, we have continued to take big steps in this direction. With our new look, we are giving our work a contemporary face that reflects our internal transformation.

  • Principles

    A promising future

    Being closer to donors and project participants has been and continues to be a central approach in our work. To connect with new generations and groups of donors, we are taking a bolder and more transparent approach, while making it easier to donate.

  • ena is primarily a resonant name that sounds like "us." During its development, we derived ena from the educational concept of "enactive" (understanding facts through one's own actions). This aligns perfectly with our working approach, where our project partners and we grow as learning organizations through action. Similarly, people involved in projects are empowered/activated/released through their own actions. In Malawi, ena means something like "the neighbor" or "the other."
