About Us

Partners Worldwide is a global community of Christians dedicated to ending poverty by harnessing the power of business and sustainable partnerships.

Around the world, nearly 700 million people live on less than $2.15 a day. Partners Worldwide aims to transform these statistics into stories of success and self-sufficiency.

We collaborate with over 90 Local Community Institutions (LCIs) in 30 countries to empower communities that face unemployment and poverty. 

Founded in 1997, Partners Worldwide has grown into a dynamic force, driving business growth and job creation to lift communities out of poverty. Through the combined efforts of volunteer Business Affiliates (BAs), LCIs, and our staff, we ensure that entrepreneurs have access to everything they need to thrive. Our approach concentrates on training, coaching, network-building, and investing. This model boosts local strength, sparks entrepreneurial initiatives, and honors business as a holy calling. 

Together, we can end poverty and create a future where everyone has the chance to succeed. 

What Sets Us Apart

We mobilize long-term, hands-on global relationships to form a powerful Christian network that uses business as the way to create flourishing economic environments in all parts of the world.

Business

Jobs transform lives. Through business, entrepreneurs earn incomes, employ workers, and live out their calling.

 

Fighting Poverty

Today, over 700 million people live in extreme poverty. Together, we can do something about it.

Partnership

We all have something to offer. Ending poverty requires interdependence, reciprocity, mutual respect, and humility.
