Today’s world is more interconnected than ever before. The food you eat, the clothes you wear, the products you purchase, and the technology you rely on are all connected to people and communities around the globe. No matter where you live, your daily life is shaped by a world that extends far beyond your local community.
That interconnectedness goes beyond the products and services you use every day. Economic stability and access to health care, education, and disaster recovery can all have ripple effects across borders. When communities around the world have the resources and opportunities they need to thrive, the benefits often extend far beyond a single region or country.
Today, with just a few clicks, you can learn about communities recovering from disasters, families fleeing conflict, or students working toward a brighter future on the other side of the world. While these challenges may seem distant, they are part of the same global community we all share.
That’s why giving global matters. Supporting international charities helps create a more stable, connected, and resilient world. By helping people thrive wherever they live, you’re strengthening a global community that supports local communities too.
What Are the Best Global Charities to Support?
Every charity has their own mission, yet they all share the same goal: helping people and communities thrive. Take a second to learn more about charities that are making an impact on the global causes that matter most to you!
Clean Water
For around 2 billion people, access to clean water is not as easy as turning on your faucet. When we connect communities with clean drinking water and sanitation, families are healthier and able to thrive.
Climate Resilience
Nearly half of the world is currently highly vulnerable to climate change impacts, and all of us will see some form of impact. Investing in climate resilience now protects our collective futures.
Disaster Relief
Disasters are becoming more frequent and more dangerous for communities worldwide. When we prioritize disaster resilience and recovery, all communities are more prepared the next time a crisis strikes.
Economic Development
Nearly 700 million people live in extreme poverty. Economic development empowers communities to pioneer new businesses, center innovation, and provide for each other, with ripples effects throughout the world.
Education
Children are the leaders of tomorrow, yet 251 million children are out of school. When we invest in education and training for children and youth, we’re investing in the future we want to see.
Global Health
Half of the world’s population lacks access to essential health services, yet good health and wellbeing are central building blocks in fighting poverty and ensuring sustainable development. Donations to global health support disease eradication, mental health services, and quality medical facilities and treatments, ensuring a healthier world for us all.
Human Trafficking
Human trafficking is an increasingly global problem, with perpetrators using dating apps, online platforms, and encrypted messaging to recruit victims and evade detection. It will take a global effort to protect every man, woman, and child currently being exploited for profit.
Hunger
Enough food is produced to feed every person in the world, but 20% of food is wasted globally. With hunger felt in nearly every community worldwide, supporting charities fighting against poverty is both a global and local undertaking.
Refugees
Climate change, conflict, and disasters all cause families to flee the homes they love, with more than 122 million people displaced worldwide. As the world adapts to these changes, it’s on all of us to support refugees as they rebuild their lives.
Social Justice
Injustices like racial, religious, and gender discrimination take place in communities at home and around the world. When people around the world center social justice, the effects are felt at home in our own communities, too.
Women & Girls
The global economy is losing out on at least $7 trillion of economic gains each year due to a failure to reach gender parity in the workforce. When we invest in women and girls, the world thrives.
The next time you’re deciding where to give through your workplace, consider giving global. The people and places we care about are more connected than ever, and your support can help communities around the world thrive.
