Tzedek (registered charity 1016767 & registered in England and Wales company number 2781146) is the UK Jewish community's response to extreme poverty in the developing world.

Tzedek is a voluntarily led Non-Governmental Organisation that draws upon the skills and resources of the Jewish Community to better the lives of those less fortunate. Tzedek aims to nurture and empower open-minded Jewish community leaders to promote the fight against extreme poverty.

Tzedek works with partners, projects and communities abroad, regardless of their race or religion, providing direct support to help local people so they can help themselves.

We seek to raise awareness, educate and encourage Jews to recognise, understand and act on to the ir Jewish responsibilities concerning extreme poverty around the world.

There are many ways to get involved in Tzedek's work.
