Who We are
World Neighbors works with people who are struggling
to survive in some of the poorest places on earth.
Instead of providing short-term aid, World Neighbors
creates permanent change by working alongside
villagers, helping them to identify and solve their
own problems. Currently, World Neighbors
reaches nearly half a million people in 13
countries. Since 1951, World Neighbors has
transformed the lives of 25 million people
in 45 countries.

In Africa, drought and unreliable weather
This year, World Neighbors was proud to
celebrate our 60th anniversary of transforming
lives around the world. Throughout 45
countries, we have witnessed women become
leaders in their community where they were
not allowed to speak to each other previously;
men become proud that they could support
their families without leaving the village for
sufficient work; children who are healthier and
walking at age one instead of age four; and
communities who have united together for
long-term change.

SAVINGS AND CREDIT
Savings and credit groups have
proven to be an extremely
successful way to improve the lives
of poor women and their families.
By saving small amounts of their
own money on a regular basis,
women contribute to a collective
pool. The group then establishes
their own credit guidelines and

not offer quick fixes or handouts,
such as food, materials, money or

communities still struggling with
daily problems.
loans for what types of activities
Instead, we walk alongside
communities as they determine what
the most important problems are for
them to address and then help them to
discover simple, low cost solutions to those
problems. World Neighbors trains and inspires
the people to create their own life-changing
solutions through programs that combine
agriculture, literacy, water, health and environmental
protection. World Neighbors stays until communities
become strong enough to maintain their own initiated
activities. The average time is 5-10 years. The goal is
to achieve long-lasting improvements in peoples’ lives
and their communities, not quick fixes that depend on
continuing outside assistance.

India
World Neighbors has had programs in India
since the organization began 60 years ago.
Currently, our work supports nearly 15,000

health services, women’s groups and literacy,
low-cost sustainable agriculture techniques,
access to drinking water and basic sanitation.
Sustainable agriculture and environmentallyfriendly farming techniques are integral to
the communities’ health. Learning to use
organic manure has allowed farmers to stop
purchasing chemical fertilizers which has
