The largest portion of the Outreach Program’s impact centers around food security. 95% of our meals stay in the United States to help feed those in need locally.
At least 14 million children suffer from severe acute malnutrition around the world.
Water is the basis of life. Readily available clean water allows people to spend less time and energy on getting water and more on work, and education.
Each Water Point System provides up to three gallons of clean water per minute. One system can support 600 people per day. The Outreach Program has distributed 75 Water Point Systems. This access to clean water has changed the trajectory of entire communities. Children are able to attend school, and adults can focus on providing for their families.
Medical care improves lifespan, dramatically improves infant mortality, and decreases preventable diseases. The Outreach Program strives to bring much needed medical care to rural villages in Tanzania through portable medical units.

At the beginning of the Outreach Program, we thought education was the key to lifting communities from poverty, but it is the final piece that can only come once a person’s other basic needs are met.

Students attending the Outreach Program have pass rates of nearly 100%, twice the national average.
