We endeavour to enable poor and marginalised people realise their vision of a dignified life.

MS is a popular, democratic organisation with its base in the Danish society. Our most important resources are citizen commitment and knowledge. We work to share experience and enhance knowledge, and we provide opportunities for international and intercultural cooperation. In 1974, MS was transformed into an open members' association - today with around 8000 individual members and about 65 institutional members. MS's General Assembly decided to seek association with ActionAid International by an overwhelming majority vote on September 14th 2008. MS is now a member of ActionAid International. MS provides opportunities for action for people, who accept a shared responsibility for global sustainable development. MS promotes understanding and dialogue between people. Together with partners we promote popular participation and democratisation in the North and in the South.
