World Neighbors is a non-profit international development organization that works with people who are struggling to overcome the consequences of underdevelopment in some of the poorest places in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Instead of providing short-term aid, World Neighbors creates permanent change by working alongside villagers, helping them to identify and solve their own problems, such as hunger, poverty, disease and other challenges that undermine their livelihoods. Currently, World Neighbors reaches approximately 500,000 people in 13 countries including Guatemala, Burkina Faso, Mali, Haiti, Peru, Bolivia, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, India, Nepal, Indonesia and Timor-Leste. Since 1951, World Neighbors has helped 26 million people in 45 countries.
World Neighbors was founded by Dr. John L. Peters in 1951, who was the organization's executive director until 1977. The organization is headquartered in Oklahoma City, OK. Peters launched the first World Neighbors programs in India.
