CHRISTIAN WORLD OUTREACH

Christian World Outreach (CWO) works to help people in developing countries improve their quality of life by reaching out to those who have been shunned and forgotten. As we minister to people physically, emotionally, spiritually and educationally, we work in the communities and with the people native to the country. By joining with the local people to provide holistic ways to improve lives, we reach out to help make a difference one life at a time. Our goal is not to impose American ways of doing things or interfere with cultural norms. We strive to come alongside individuals in-country offering education, support and encouragement to build up leaders and improve quality of life.

CWO is an independent organization not affiliated with any church or denomination, we do not limit participation in any of our programs based on age, gender, nationality, race or religious affiliation. CWO is recognized as an official non-governmental organization (NGO) doing work in Burkina Faso, Haiti and as a independent non-profit in Zimbabwe.

We believe that in order for real change to occur in the communities in which we work we need to partner with those who wish to make a difference in their own country. We view our responsibility as one of providing resources and assistance, and rely on our National partners to let us know how we can assist them in the best possible way. Therefore, whenever possible CWO employs and trains Nationals of the countries in which we work.

Because we employ locals in the countries where we have ministries, we work to understand the needs of each country and the best way to meet those needs. Staff are positioned to serve and work with each individual and offer both help and hope. Whether receiving educational help, physical care or spiritual guidance, the individuals we serve are encouraged to become both self reliant and assist others in return. In-country staff are equipped to serve, manage programs, oversee budgets and to monitor and evaluate each program for strengths and weaknesses, always striving for improvement. The US staff and board of directors are dedicated to provide assistance and guidance to the in-country staff. The US staff also works to fundraise and build awareness of each program.
