World Hope International - https://www.worldhope.org/ 

WHI exists because of God's clear mandate for His followers to help people in need. (see Isaiah 58).  WHI goes to remote areas and partners with people in an effort to bring healing, restoration and positive, sustainable change. WHI's programs offer opportunity, dignity and hope in places where those things are usually in short supply.  Widows, orphans, the sick, the exploited and the forgotten--the world's poor are worth our dollars, our time, our dedication, our sacrifice and our hearts.  Together we can do incredible things. Do not be intimidated by the statistics or discouraged by the magnitude of the challenges this world presents. By helping one person, one human being at a time, we will change the world.
