Broederlijk Delen

Broederlijk Delen is the name of an organization and should therefore remain untranslated. See the link below for the website of the organisation.

The literal meaning of 'Broederlijk Delen' is 'brotherly sharing'. It is based on solidarity.

According to the website "Broederlijk Delen is a Christian organisation that is conscious of what is happening in the world. Motivated by our Christian belief, we work towards a new world order in which there is a place for everyone. Concrete, modest and stubborn."
