Although the U.S. and Haiti are separated by a flight of less than two hours, the economic distance between them could hardly be greater. The gap between these neighboring nations mirrors the growing gulf between the privileged and powerless worldwide and testifies to the brokenness and injustice of our world.

It is across this great chasm that Beyond Borders works, building understanding and solidarity between the wealthy and the poor. Together we find new meaning for our lives and the strength to build a world where God's peace and justice reign.

Beyond Borders has the highest rating from Charity Navigator™, America’s largest independent evaluator of charities. Beyond Borders "exceeds industry standard and outperforms most charities in its cause." Give today and share the power of education.

Two Dollars a Day: While this may not seem like much money, it's more than the average daily income of nine out of ten people in Haiti. Click on the "Donate Now" button to see what a difference your pledge of $2 a day ($60 per month) can make.
