Our Impact

Projects

Over the past twenty years, we have invested in over 2,000 projects around the world and improved health, education, environment, and economic opportunity for more than 3.8 million people globally.

Full Project Table

Each project funded by World Connect begins with an idea from someone inspired to create change in their community. We prioritize communities often overlooked by traditional funders, and over 60% of our projects are led by women.
