Mission: Around the world there are billions of able-bodied people in bondage to poverty simply because they lack basic skills, capital, and encouragement. With a small measure of help, these people can develop a sustainable income, providing for themselves and improving their communities. The ability to provide for one's own family brings with it the dignity God intends for every man and woman. Additionally, these programs often lead to improved health, lower infant mortality rates, better stewardship of the environment, and more opportunities for future generations. Also in this world are millions of people possessing the vocations, skills, talents, and hobbies that can be shared with the poor - usually by Internet through workers serving abroad. Global Economic Outreach is committed to seizing this moment when technology permits the sharing of information for the benefit of all mankind. We recruit volunteers to advise workers via Internet as they work to develop healthy communities.
