Gifts in Kind

Do you or your company have supplies you would like to donate? We can help you make sure they get to the people around the world who need them most. When you provide materials such as medical equipment, food, and other needed items, your donation will be rushed to help people survive — people like refugees, victims of disaster, and families affected by famine.

How does it work?

World Help’s product distribution strategies are carefully crafted to benefit local populations without disrupting their economies or existing donor product sales in the region. We take careful measures to ensure that the products provided by our donors (YOU!) reach men, women, and children who need them most, and all giving risks are mitigated.

When you donate products from your business, you send a clear message of corporate social responsibility to your customers — ultimately strengthening your brand.

Countries that have received aid

Belize

A large portion of Belize's population lives in poverty, and its location also makes it susceptible to hurricanes.

Burundi

Burundi has been one of the poorest countries in the world for decades, and it mainly relies on agriculture for their sustainability. But since they are facing more droughts than ever before, local farmers can’t grow and provide for their families.

Cuba

Cuba's location makes it vulnerable to devastating hurricanes that can leave people without access to food and clean water.

Iraq

Widespread violence has displaced many people from their homes and created massive food shortages.

Honduras

Honduras is one of the poorest countries in Central America, leading to an alarmingly high child mortality rate.

Haiti

Childhood malnutrition is a major problem in Haiti, making shipments of essentials like food and medical supplies critical.

Rwanda

Many Rwandans live in extreme poverty, struggling to survive on less than $1-$2 per day.

Peru

People living in remote villages along the Amazon River lack basic medical care, clean water, and other essentials.

Zimbabwe

A large portion of Zimbabwe’s population lives in poverty and can’t afford basic necessities.

Jordan

Jordan has one of the world’s highest refugee populations, with many of these people dependent on the generosity of others.

Zambia

Zambia has extremely high rates of childhood malnutrition, making healthy food one of the most urgently needed items in this country.

Venezuela

Venezuela’s unstable economy has caused food prices to skyrocket, so the average family can barely afford food, let alone medical care or new clothes.

Moldova

Moldova is one of many countries in Eastern Europe that has become a temporary home for families fleeing Ukraine.

Ukraine

Millions of people have been displaced inside Ukraine since the war with Russia began, and they desperately need basic essentials.
