Program areas at World Help
HUMANITARIAN AID: World Help strives to be the first one on the ground and the last one to leave when crises happen around the world. Our immediate response to meet physical and spiritual needs during natural disasters, famine, poverty, or other catastrophes is crucial to helping save lives. We partner with nationals already on the ground who can quickly identify where the needs are the most critical. We then work to ensure people have access to necessities including water, food, medicine, shelter, and clothing. Everything we do is built on the belief that we, as people of faith, are called to change lives. And we believe lives can only be changed when the needs of the whole person are met - body and soul. Faith means very little when people don't have access to the food, clean water, or medicines they need. But without faith, meeting those physical needs is just a short-term fix. It takes both physical help and spiritual hope for true transformation to happen. Our ultimate goal is to establish self-sustaining communities with access to the Word of God, improve lives, and create brighter futures.
OUTREACH MINISTRIES: World Help's Children of the World International Children's Choir travels the country to present the desperate reality of millions of children who cannot speak for themselves. The choir, which is composed of international children from our Child Sponsorship Program aims to use song, dance, spoken word, and creative media to inspire audiences across the United States to step out in faith and sponsor an impoverished child in need. This ministry was temporarily stopped in March 2020 until further notice, due to the implications of Covid-19.
INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS: World Help works with national Christian partners in some of the most impoverished places on earth to be the hands, feet, and heart of Jesus on the ground. We focus on helping save lives; meeting urgent needs through aid and relief projects; investing in long-term sustainable transformation through agriculture initiatives, education and vocational training; building and equipping medical facilities, clean-water projects; and providing sponsorships for children living in poverty to name a few. Our goal is to meet people's physical needs so we have an opportunity to meet their spiritual needs, as well.COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: Meeting basic needs alone doesn't create long term sustainability in a community. Giving physical help without developmental solutions can actually foster dependence. World Help is committed to changing lives from the ground up through our Village Transformation initiative. When we provide clean water, access to medical care, and spiritual support, we lay the groundwork for lasting transformation.
