In addition to disaster response, Week of Compassion is active in many growth and development projects all over the world. These projects address the root causes of poverty that often make progress difficult in impoverished areas. They also allow us to address the new challenges presented by climate change in parts of the world that already struggle with meeting basic needs.
Our approach is to work closely with local leaders in each community where we have a presence, so that change is rooted in relationship and empowerment. We adhere to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. Through our partner organizations, we help people to provide for themselves, their families and their neighbors-- often using the resources already available to them. Our programs focus primarily on education, agriculture, and community building through a range of vocational opportunities. Learn more about some of our efforts to build strong communities in just and sustainable ways by clicking the partner links below.
