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

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

• The first of these involves funding 16 sustainable development projects in Ghana and India. These projects are mainly centered around increasing access to education and improving vocational skills of the local population.
• The second part of Tzedek's strategy involves sending volunteers from the UK to communities in India and Ghana on summer placements.
• The final part of Tzedek's work is aimed at raising awareness of global poverty in the Jewish community through education and campaigning. One component of this final part is the Jewish Global Citizenship Project (JGCP) (JGCP) which aims to empower young people to take responsibility for global issues by providing free resources to teachers and educators.
