Who We Are

We 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!

We believe that in order for real change to occur in the communities where we work we need to partner with those who wish to make a difference in their own communities and in their own country. We provide resources and assistance and rely on our National partners to tell us how we can partner with them in the most meaningful way possible. Whenever possible we employ and train Nationals in the countries where we work.
