Our Work

People Helping People Global was founded in March 2009 with the intention of helping to eradicate extreme poverty. We implement many different strategies to assist building communities in the developing world. We believe that through stronger, more economically viable communities, greater global citizens will emerge, and extreme poverty will no longer be a problem that must be addressed.  Our work is focused towards supporting community members so they grow towards becoming economically sustainable and are able to better support their families.
