What We Do

Help those living in some of the world’s most economically and socially fragile communities.
Open hands icon

Reach the Most Vulnerable

We work with some of the most socially and economically marginalized communities, often ministering in areas affected by conflict, empowering individuals with economic hope, trauma-healing, and peace building.

Help the Whole Person

We encourage people as they identify and develop their own talents. Groups train together in literacy, numeracy, saving, and business skills, becoming close-knit communities that support and invest in each other.

Empower Local Leadership

We partner with the local church so that each program is contextualized to the challenges, needs, and strengths of a particular community for sustainable development.
