Organizations Filed Purposes: GOOD NEIGHBORS USA IS AN INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN AND DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION COMMITTED TO BUILD A GLOBAL COMMUNITY WHERE PEOPLE LIVE TOGETHER IN HEALTH, HARMONY, AND DIGNITY.

EMERGENCY RELIEF. GOOD NEIGHBORS DELIVERS IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE AND SET UP LONG-TERM RELIEF EFFORTS INCLUDING DISPENSING FOOD AND CLEAN WATER;IMPROVING SANITATION;PROVIDING MEDICAL ASSISTANCE AND SHELTER; AND PREVENTING OR MINIMIZING DISEASE OUTBREAKS. GOOD NEIGHBORS USA COORDINATED THE ACQUISITION OF FOOD AND MEDICINE THAT WERE DISTRIBUTED TO DAYCARE CENTERS, HOSPITALS, MEDICAL OFFICES AND CLINICS AS WELL AS TO OTHER GOOD NEIGHBORS PROJECT SITES.

WATER FOR LIFE. OUR WATER FOR LIFE PROJECT IS SIMPLE AND ECONOMICALLY SUSTAINABLE: BUILD WATER WELLS IN AREAS OF DEVELOPING COUNTRIES WHERE LOCAL PEOPLE ARE DEPRIVED OF CLEAN WATER. FAMILIES REGULARLY DRINK FILTHY WATER FROM MUDDY PUDDLES OR NEARBY RIVERS-OFTEN THE SAME WATER USED FOR WASHING DISHES OR BATHING-WHICH CAN LEAD TO CHOLERA, MALARIA, AND OTHER DEBILITATING DISEASES. CHILDREN SPEND WHOLE DAYS WALKING MILES TO COLLECT WATER, LEAVING THEM VULNERABLE TO ASSAULTS AND MAKING SCHOOL ATTENDANCE A LOW PRIORITY. ONE GOOD NEIGHBORS WATER WELL SERVES A VILLAGE OF 4,000 FOR UP TO 21 YEARS, DRAMATICALLY AND IMMEDIATELY IMPROVING THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY. WE BUILD THE WELL WITH VILLAGERS, MONITOR ITS PROGRESS IN THE FOLLOWING MONTHS, AND THEN TRAIN LOCALS TO CONTINUE MAINTAINING THE WELL AS NEEDED. IN 2011, GOOD NEIGHBORS BUILT 30 WELLS:20 IN CHAD, FIVE IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, AND FIVE IN MALAWI, PROVIDING CLEAN WATER TO APPROXIMATELY 120,000 PEOPLE.

CHILD SPONSORSHIP. GOOD NEIGHBORS' CHILD SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO COMBAT THREE CRITICAL PROBLEMS THAT CHILDREN IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES FACE:A LACK OF EDUCATION, POOR NUTRITION, AND LITTLE TO NO ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE MEDICAL CARE. OUR CHILD SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM ENCOURAGES DONORS TO MAKE A MONTHLY COMMITMENT THAT COVERS A CHILD'S TUITION, UNIFORMS, SCHOOL SUPPLIES, BOOKS, LUNCHTIME MEALS, AND MEDICAL CARE. IT'S AN EFFECTIVE PROGRAM THAT STANDS OUT BECAUSE IT IS NOT ONLY PROVIDES THOSE IN NEED WITH AID BUT ALSO COMBATS SOME OF THE DIRECT SOURCES OF POVERTY, INCLUDING ILLITERACY, POOR HEALTH, AND LACK OF SKILLS NEEDED FOR JOB PLACEMENT. IT'S AN ECONOMICALLY- SUSTAINABLE, COMMUNITY-BASED SOLUTION THAT INVESTS IN CHILDREN, GIVING THEM THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITIES TO ONE DAY BE PRODUCTIVE ADULTS WHO CONTRIBUTE POSITIVELY TO THEIR SOCIETY. LAST YEAR, GOOD NEIGHBORS USA SUCCESSFULLY SPONSORED 915 CHILDREN AGES 4-18 IN CHAD, MALAWI, AND GUATEMALA.
