Welcome to H.O.W.
Helping Others Worldwide (HOW) is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to assisting people in need by distributing donated items worldwide to help fulfill the basic requirements of our brothers and sisters living in impoverished conditions. Having met basic needs, we offer programs that facilitate self-empowerment and sustainability by proactively identifying market needs and developing practical solutions with our volunteers and strategic partnerships.
HOW was founded over a year ago by Christian Pearce who traveled to West Africa, after having previously visited 45 other countries. The disparity between his own life in the United States and the level of existence he experienced there inspired him to make a difference.
Why:
Simple. Food, clothing and shelter are the basic necessities. Without them a person has very little hope of surviving. Today, half the world's population, 3 billion people, lives on less than $2 a day.
FACT: These people cannot afford to purchase basic consumer goods. The result is malnutrition, extreme tooth decay and high rates of easily curable diseases. They wear/use whatever they have until it quite literally disintegrates. HOW aims to address this level of destitution and asks your help in doing so.
