A better world can't wait.
We connect ideas, people, and solutions to build what tomorrow needs — right now.
At Global Communities, we believe no one should go hungry, face crisis alone, or be denied the chance to build a better life. We transform urgency into action, and action into a world where everyone can thrive.
Impact Areas
Global Health
We ensure comprehensive primary health care programs that meet the needs and preferences of communities and contribute to healthy lives for individuals and families.
Financial Inclusion
We create opportunities for individuals, communities, and businesses to meet their needs and drive lasting economic growth. We believe everyone can climb the economic ladder, from informal to formal markets, from surviving to thriving, improving their well-being and resilience.
Food Systems
We support farmers in growing more reliable and nutritious food, increasing their incomes, and accessing markets; ensure children receive the meals and care they need to thrive in school; and strengthen communities’ resilience to weather-related shocks.
Humanitarian Assistance
We partner with communities affected by disaster and conflict to deliver lifesaving support and help people rebuild pathways toward stability and opportunity.
Donate Today & Save Lives
In communities around the world, women, children, and families are facing urgent crises, including natural disasters, conflict, food and water scarcity, disease, and deepening income inequality. Your gift today helps save lives and secure strong futures for families in the U.S. and around the world.
Every gift — no matter the size — makes a difference.

Building a Stronger Health Workforce for West Africa
West African countries like Mali, Niger, and Senegal face a critical shortage of health workers, especially in rural areas, contributing to high rates of maternal and child mortality. The Classroom to Care (C2C) project is laying the foundation to change that situation by supporting the training of nurses and midwives in the very communities they will serve.
Powered by Partnership
Progress doesn’t happen in isolation. Global Communities believes the path to a brighter tomorrow is forged through shared action. We work alongside communities and strategic partners — from foundations and country governments to local organizations and corporations — to help families shape strong, healthy, and resilient futures. Explore the ways we can work together.

The family is part of an estimated 800,000 trash recyclers who collect 90% of Brazil’s used and…
