Clive Mather

Clive Mather is the Chairman of Tearfund. Tearfund is a Christian relief and development agency, mobilising a global network of local churches to help eradicate poverty. Through its disaster relief capacity, it is able to bring front line emergency help to those communities ravaged by war, earthquake or other calamities. Haiti is a prime example in 2010. Through its advocacy, Tearfund highlights the impact of climate change, injustice and corruption on those least able to cope. It calls governments and global institutions to account, arguing for concerted global action and a fairer allocation of resources to meet the needs of the poor and oppressed. Clive has been Chairman since 2008 and has visited Tearfund's work in more than 40 countries, encouraging partners and local churches.
