Centennial Stories: World Neighbors

• We work with local residents to find innovative, low-cost and practical solutions to pressing needs, and build on those solutions to create healthy, strong and self-sufficient communities.

• We listen to how local people define their needs. We build trust and enthusiasm by working together to solve priority problems. We help the community realize its potential to multiply early victories into long-term social, political and economic change. We share results with larger-scale organizations to influence broader policies and practices.

• We take a big-picture, integrated approach to our work, focusing on the entire community rather than on one issue. We understand that issues are often interrelated, and that by removing one obstacle, we can open many avenues of opportunity.

• Most of our experienced International Program staff and volunteers are local people from the countries where they work.

• We invest in people, not things. We provide knowledge and momentum rather than merely handing out technology or money. This makes our program very efficient and creates lasting change rather than a short- term fix.

• We enter a community with an open mind to the right approach rather than a predetermined idea of what should be done. We work with local residents to identify and address needs from within, resulting in greater community involvement and longer-term impact.

• World Neighbors builds local leaders and local organizations, resulting in more sustainable impact. We work with local communities to identify leaders from within. This unleashes individual and collective potential.

• We facilitate partnerships with local community and governmental organizations. World Neighbors strengthen the organizational capacity of grassroots partners.

• We take a long-term approach, often staying in communities for five to 10 years. Our work permanently improves the social, economic and physical resources available to and controlled by a community.

Our Mission: World Neighbors inspires people and strengthens communities to find lasting solutions to hunger, poverty and disease and to promote a healthy environment.


World Neighbors is an international development organization that creates long-term, transformative change in remote communities in Asia, Africa and Latin America—places where people live in absolute poverty.

World Neighbors is headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Our programs are operating in more than 16 countries around the globe, helping people build their communities and strenghten their lives.

We are passionate about our work, and bring energy, determination, urgency and leadership to our field by pioneering and ..ing innovative tools and strategies. Our approach is collaborative, equitable, inclusive and respectful. People are proud to work with us, but they ultimately create and own the leadership and results that come from our collaboration.

We place high value on education and on respectfully sharing our expertise in both our global communities and with U.S. audiences. We empower communities to create and sustain their own change, empower donors and partners to see their role in global transformation, and empower the international development community to build on our more than 50 years of experience in the field.

Hello~

At Redding Loaves and Fishes we believe the world is not looking for a better sermon on Christian Love, but a better demonstration of it !

We are against practices and laws that unfairly single out homeless people and criminalize them for everyday living and life-sustaining activites.

Merry Christmas !

I wanted to come up with a good way to say thank you to all of our friends, so I made you a Postcard.

g2ive. com/postcard/postcard. cgi?1228408936


Like everything else we do, this postcard benefits many great causes found here on MySpace.

40 of these great causes are on our top friends list.

If you get the chance stop by our page and ask our friends to be your friends too.

I am sure that they would love to hear from you :)

Happy Holidays!
