What We Do

One Village Transformed

At World Concern, our approach to village transformation is holistic and addresses not only the physical needs in a community, but spiritual ones as well. We start by listening to community members. Each village identifies their greatest needs and drives the process of change. We partner with them, providing support, expertise, and practical tools – all in the power and love of Jesus.

The process is not always easy, and it’s sometimes messy. But through tried and proven methods that bring lasting change, entire villages are transformed.

How We Support

When a community partners with us, we meet with its leaders and listen to their goals, identify their needs, and uplift the existing resources to make a plan for sustainable transformation. From leadership training to meeting needs for clean water, adequate nutrition, and medical care, we support the community as it implements sanitation and hygiene practices that support good health, protection and education for their children, and Savings & Loan groups that empower families financially. As sustainable change takes root, real transformation takes place.
