ABOUT US
We have worked since 1971 to serve the most vulnerable people on earth through purposeful relief and development. Our methodology is informed by our Christian beliefs that every person has intrinsic value and that it is our responsibility to advocate for the poor and the marginalized.
GIVE
We believe that when communities are trained and equipped to care for their most vulnerable, the entire community is lifted and poverty can be overcome. We serve communities through life-changing resources such as clean water, medical aid, food, equal educational opportunities to girls and boys, vocational training and empowerment in the midst of unimaginable hardships.
PARTNERSHIPS
The world is hungry, but the emptiness goes far beyond the table. The need is physical and spiritual. People hunger for opportunity, starve for resources, and have been stripped of value. These injustices keep us up at night.

GET INVOLVED
We’re praising God for your willingness to answer the call and serve a child whom you’ve never even met. Your generosity means another child can grow up healthy and educated. We believe that when we equip a community to care for its most vulnerable members, we can serve everyone and see poverty eliminated.
