A chance to do something truly meaningful
How often do we have the opportunity to help where help is desperately needed, where what you do can change someone’s life, or even save it?
People in Need is an innovative project that uses modern technology and hands-on personal connections to make possible a new kind of relationship: connecting people in distant lands, who speak different languages, and live in different cultures, on a human, personal basis. We seek out people in desperate, life and death situations, and connect them with those who want to help. We provide tools for mutual understanding. And we respond to these problems, according to a sponsorship plan that assists with long-term development as well as addressing immediate needs.
If we had an 911 number for the world, who would respond?
It often seems that we are unable to find the help we need. Yet there are so many people who want to help but do not know how. The goal of this project is to connect these distant counterparts.
Not just help, but understanding and real relationships
This is not one-way giving. We are engaging people in need in a process of understanding their situation, connecting them to a person on the more prosperous side of the world, and providing tools and resources for mutual action.
Responding to global conflict in a personal way
We don’t have to depend on government or big institutions to respond to global suffering, poverty and conflict. It is our belief that social injustice is just the symptom of a broken bond, and healing that bond can have unpredictable and far-reaching effects. Acting on many levels, social and personal, external and internal, technical and soulful, People in Need is a process whose time has come. You can be part of this transformative process of addressing poverty and injustice, on one hand, and isolation and emptiness (of people in developed countries), on the other!
