What we do
Programs
Appropriate infrastructure, education, basic necessities, medical care and yearly mission trips — the work we carry out alongside local partners.
Public Works
Appropriate infrastructure can improve living conditions. Installation of ground wells, rain tanks, the construction of irrigation systems for farmers, building of public toilet facilities for the rural villages.
Education
Only through education are the poor able to break free from the cycle of poverty. By building schools, funding scholarships, uniforms, and books, we provide opportunities for the youth to create better futures for themselves.
Food, Shelter & Basic Necessities
We distribute rice, clothing and blankets for warmth and constructed insulated housing where once there were tent homes.
Medical Care
We have built a number of medical clinics, given the gift of sight through funding of cataract surgeries, sponsored emergency lifesaving medical procedures, and built loving houses customized for the disabled.
Haiti Mission Trips
This beautiful island country is continually beset with natural disasters. She is resilient but always in desperate need of support from the international community. We sponsor mission trips yearly to bring supplies where needed.

Saigon Relief 2021

Brighter Days for Vietnam
Vietnam is where the foundation began, after the November 1999 flood — the worst in over a century. In 2021 our teams returned to Saigon with emergency relief for households cut off from work and income, continuing more than two decades of work in the country.

SriLanka Relief 2021
