Across Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, and Eastern Europe, grassroots leaders are organizing to win clean water, land rights, sustainable agriculture, affordable housing, quality health care, and good schools.
Most aid delivers projects designed by outsiders. We do something different: we help people build the power to win change themselves.
More than 9,000 people across 350 communities in 14 countries are organizing to transform their lives, communities, and countries, in some of the most challenging places in the world.
Your donation funds local organizers, community organizing training, and grassroots organizations that make this work possible.
