Inspiring People. Strengthening Communities.

Our Mission

World Neighbors inspires people and strengthens communities to find lasting solutions to hunger, poverty and disease and to promote a healthy environment.

World Neighbors invests in people themselves through education and training, not by giving away material aid.

We provide knowledge and strengthen local capacities for change rather than merely handing out technology or money.

This makes our programs very efficient and creates lasting change rather than a short-term fix. 

"Now we know what hell is"

A 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on Tuesday, January 12 destroying much of the capital city, Port-au-Prince. "It was the longest minute in the life of each Haitian. Now we know what hell is," described Leneve Julien, World Neighbors regional program associate for Haiti. While Port-au-Prince faces uncertainty after yet another devastating natural disaster, World Neighbors anticipates an enormous impact on our communities. We will address the short-term needs of our staff and programs, as well as continue our long-term development plans for Haiti. Learn more about World Neighbors work in Haiti.

You can help today by making a special gift to the World Neighbors Haiti Fund.
