OUR PROJECTS
Our projects are unique in that the staff who are doing the work are all local people. They work in their own communities to make change for their own people. This means that they are motivated differently than someone coming in from the outside, and they have a strong understanding of the culture. They are passionate because it is their own neighbors.
​
We work in countries where we have a local partner and there are communities who want to see change in their communities: lives transformed by being able to read and write, having access to health and hygiene information, knowing the importance of education, finding freedom from fear, and hearing God's Word in their mother tongue.
​
You can be a part of the change that is happening in individual communities around the world by empowering the local people who are connecting with their neighbors.
