[1] CEDAR Fund fulfils its purpose by working in partnership with churches and Christian organisations around the world who share its basis of faith. An exception to this rule may be made in disaster situations where Government or international funds designated for disaster relief may be sought. In addition, where no suitable partner exists to mount a relief or development programme, CEDAR may instigate its own programme providing it is under the supervision of those who share its Basis of Faith.
