Tzedek is a UK-based registered charity[1] organization which aims to provide a Jewish response to the problem of global poverty.

Tzedek was founded in 1990.[2] Its work is focused in three areas.

Tzedek is a member of the Make Poverty History coalition.[6]

Tzedek's work has been world widely recognised. Their founder, Steve Miller, has recently been nominated for the Charity Times Outstanding Individual Achievement Award[7] for his work in setting up Tzedek. He is also quoted[8] at a multifaith conference as part of the Jubilee Debt Campaign. The Jewish Chronicle [9] also mentioned Tzedek's work in one of their articles.
