INTERNATIONAL SAMARITAN

ANN ARBOR, Michigan, 48104 United States

Mission Statement

Our Mission is to walk hand-in-hand with people in garbage dump communities, along with those with a calling to help, to break the chains of poverty, and to improve our lives together.

About This Cause

International Samaritan focuses on community-level aid to raise the standard of living in entire neighborhoods surrounding the garbage dumps. We also focus on a very tailored and holistic approach: when we enter a community, we work with that community to understand their needs and then bring in programs that address those specific needs, either directly through International Samaritan or through partnerships with other nonprofits or government agencies. Our programs currently operate in six nations: Ethiopia, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Kenya (pending), and Nicaragua. International Samaritan considers itself present in a community when all three of the following criteria are met: We have a team of locally-hired individuals overseeing our programs. We have established an academic scholarship program that serves students from pre-K through college or trade school. We have at least one of our other programs present in the community (see https://www.intsam.org/programs/).
