World Neighbors, Inc.

Eradicate hunger, poverty and disease by teaching people the life-changing techniques that will sustain their communities for the long-term. World Neighbors takes a big-picture, holistic approach focusing on the community rather than on one issue. Problems and issues within a community are all interrelated, and World Neighbors has found that you cannot solve one problem in isolation.

World Neighbors does not give away food or material aid. Instead, it provides training so that people gain the skills and leadership to work together for change. The result is self-reliance, rather than dependence on external aid. World Neighbors invests in people and not things, thereby strengthening the capacity of community organizations while realizing the human potential more fully.

World Neighbors has decades of experience in implementing cost-effective, sustainable solutions in the areas of the world in which we operate. World Neighbors maintains field offices in most of the countries that we work in, employed with full-time staff that have a wealth of experience working in sustainable agriculture, natural resource management, water-sanitation-hygiene (WaSH), reproductive health, and gender equity. Our program staff work with the local communities to impart knowledge and compassion, rather than gifts.

Since its inception, World Neighbors has changed the lives of more than 27 million people in 45 countries. Currently, World Neighbors works in three regions around the world: Latin America Caribbean (Bolivia, Guatemala, Haiti, Peru); Africa (Burkina Faso, Kenya, Mali, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda); and Asia (India, Indonesia, Nepal, Timor Leste). There is still much work to be done in our current programs and we are always looking to expand to new communities.
