people in these areas to experience more and more of the fulness of life that Jesus came to bring.
VI) To see as many rich and poor people as possible, from different backgrounds, situations and places,
encountering one another in such a way that they are mutually enriched and that they better experience,
understand and respond to poverty and to God's heart of love for the poor

AN IMPORTANT NOTE
The six words together with others, directly and indirectly are extremely important to understanding
PNA's mission. PNA does not try to do everything itself or to keep control of everything itself. PNA
rather seeks to increase its impact by working with others whenever it can, by fostering collaboration,
partnership, and strategic alliances and by raising up, training, inspiring, equipping and supporting
others to work for the overcoming of poverty and for social and individual transformation. PNA seeks
to carry out its mission in four main ways: a) collaborating and partnering with others in joint work
(roles, responsibilities and desired outcomes being clearly defined), b) supporting the work of others, c)
networking, linking and coordinating (to facilitate and initiate work, to inspire people to work and to
better equip people for work), d) running its own events, activities and programs.
