World Neighbors Work Program

World Neighbors ("WN") works with people who are struggling to survive in some of the poorest places on earth. Instead of providing short-term aid, WN creates permanent change by working alongside villagers, helping them to identify and solve their own problems. Currently, over 600,000 people benefit from WN's program work in 14 countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean. During our 71 years of experience, more than 28 million people in 45 countries have transformed their lives. We invest in local leadership and organizations that continue and expand program activities after we end our support. The goal is to achieve long-lasting improvements in people’s lives and in the community, not quick fixes that depend on outside assistance. WN focuses on training and educating communities to find lasting solutions to the challenges they face – hunger, poverty and disease – rather than by giving them food, money or by constructing buildings.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

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.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

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.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

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.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

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.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Data

We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.

Policies and processes

We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
