Mission: Mission Without Borders was founded in 1960 in response to the material and spiritual needs of people living in poverty or suffering persecution. Our work began when the Cold War was at its most intense. In Eastern Europe, a rigid political system had demanded strict loyalty, and those who dared to disagree suffered imprisonment and death. Literally millions of Christians were persecuted for their beliefs. Many paid with their lives and still do in various parts of the world. The courage and valor of Christians who have suffered for their faith has motivated us to assist them. Now that the walls are down Mission Without Borders experiences exceptional cooperation from the Eastern European governments of Albania, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Moldova, Romania and Ukraine. Our activities in China continue under difficult and dangerous circumstances. Generous support from individual donors, companies, foundations, churches, other NGO's and governments make our work possible. We have offices in the United States, Canada, Australia, Belgium, Germany, Holland, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. All accounts are audited by independent auditors, Ernst & Young on an annual basis. This includes international, affiliate and field operations. A copy of our audited annual report is available upon request. Our web site, www.mwb.org, will help you to get to know us better.
Programs: Child rescue international, child recovery homes and child care are programs that touch the lives of tens of thousands of children living in institutions. Orphaned, abandoned or handicapped children receive food, clothing, school supplies, go to summer camps, vocational training, are taught life skills and receive emotional support. The organization helps with the upkeep and renovation of the institutions and offers medical assistance and spiritual guidance to all children. Family care, family-to-family and community center programs help families and elderly people experiencing physical, social and economic hardships. Churches and community centers provide christian literature, donated goods such as food, clothing, blankets, and furniture. Additionally, vocational training, health, hygiene and medical aid are also provided.
