This organization provides aid to people and communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America to obtain solutions that will end their poverty, disease and hunger. Uniquely, World Neighbors doesn’t accomplish this mission by simply handing out donations or providing material aid such as food or clothes. They meet with individuals and communities to help them find practical solutions to their problems. This allows communities to find sustained change rather than a temporary solution. |

In order to maximize our impact in the struggle against poverty, we support and donate to established non-profit organizations that have similar missions. The organizations we support follow the same good charitable practices as outlined in the BBB Wise Giving Alliance Standards. Below are links and brief descriptions of some of the organizations to which we provide funding. We are continually researching other non-profits with missions of alleviating poverty to promote on our website, so continue to check this page for new ways of becoming involved. We will update the list of organizations we support every few months. If you would like to learn more or support any of these causes, please visit their websites and donate directly to them. |
