WORLD NEIGHBORS

World Neighbors is led by president and CEO, Dr. Kate Schecter. The World Neighbors staff includes five U.S.-based staff members and 46 team members in the field who are from the areas where they work. We work with more than 50 local partner organizations that help to train thousands of volunteers and leaders in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean... World Neighbors listens, without predetermined ideas, to identify and address people's needs, resulting in greater community involvement and long-lasting impact. World Neighbors provides knowledge and training to teach skills and gain confidence, then local leaders and organizations emerge and work together to carry on the work. This makes World Neighbors' programs very efficient and creates lasting change rather than a short-term fix... World Neighbors works in 14 countries around the world, investing in people rather than things. We work with people in local communities to create low-cost, practical solutions to challenges..
