“We can do no great things; only small things with great love.”
—Mother Teresa

		Food
		Imagine seeing your children slowly starving… and having nothing to feed them. For countless destitute families, this is a grim reality. Your gift today will bring lifesaving food to hungry children and their families.

		Housing
		For the poorest of the poor, “home” might be little more than a few sticks, mud, and scraps of plastic or metal. Your gift for housing will help provide a family with a safe, basic home and restore their human dignity.

		Water
		Clean, safe drinking water is essential for life. In developing countries, access to safe drinking water can be limited, often resulting in serious illnesses and death. Your gift will help provide lifesaving water to those lacking clean drinking water and sanitation.

		Medical Care
		In developing countries, hospitals and clinics often lack the most basic equipment and supplies to treat patients. Doctors and nurses often stand by helplessly, unable to administer lifesaving aid. Your gift can help provide items ranging from basic anti-diarrhea medicine to advanced medical equipment.

		Education
		Unlike in the United States, education in developing countries is not free. Parents must pay for uniforms, books, school supplies and other necessities. Children too poor to attend school are often sent to work on the streets, and so a lack of education reinforces the vicious cycle of poverty. Your gift for education can help break that cycle and will benefit a child for a lifetime.

		Micro-Enterprise Development
		Often, poor families are trapped in poverty because they have no viable means of earning income. What better way to help improve lives than to give a village the means to sustain itself economically? Your gift for a self-sustaining project will have a profound and lasting effect in the lives of those you help.

How to Help the Poor

		General Donation
		A donation to our general fund goes to where the greatest need is at the moment. Your gift allows us to provide immediate relief when there is a crisis and to supply vital services to the people in the countries in which we serve.

		Monthly Giving Clubs
		A monthly giving club is the perfect solution to help our poorest brothers and sisters. Monthly giving clubs allow you to set up automatic monthly donations while directing where you want your funds to go.

		Gift Catalog
		Choosing a meaningful gift for someone who has everything can be a challenge. Why not delight your loved one with a gift given to the poor in his or her honor? Your friends and family would love to know that a malnourished child or a family will be fed in their name.

		Current Appeals
		Make a one-time donation or a regular monthly contribution toward a meaningful and highly needed cause. From school desks for children in Haiti, to feeding programs in Jamaica, our appeals are all varying in need and location.

		Champions For The Poor
		Champions For The Poor are everyday people just like you and I who want to make a difference by taking an active role in helping the poor. They have been touched by the images and stories of poverty and have decided to organize and make a difference.

		Orphan Support (Angels of Hope)
		Children who have been orphaned or abandoned need to know that they are loved and cared for. They also need food, clothing, shelter, medical care and an education. Your gift will help a child grow and develop in a healthy, loving environment.

		Planned Giving
		Our planned gifts are reciprocal gifts, returning benefits that can reduce your taxes, increase your retirement income and address your family's financial obligations -- while they are ministering to the spiritual and material needs of the poor.

		Radio
		Radio stations all over the United States are helping to give to the poorest of the poor in the countries that we serve. Select the link above to see if your city has a participating radio station to help now.
