Partner Organizations

HELP International functions solely due to the collaboration of not only our volunteer participants, but numerous domestic and global partner organizations. These amazing organizations are working hard to alleviate poverty in their communities and abroad, much like HELP does, and without their collaboration our work would be much less impressive. All projects undertaken by HELP International participants are done in partnership with organizations in-country, whether that be an informal group of community members, the local ministry of health or education, a local hospital, or another NGO or non-profit organization working in the area. Our partner organizations are as diverse and unique as are our participants, and all projects stemming from these partnerships aid in accomplishing our mission of ending poverty and empowering people.

Below find a list of some of our US-based parter organizations, for more complete information you can find country-specific partners under each country's page, or refer to each partner's website if available.
