Our Purpose
Compassion Beyond Borders funds the education of impoverished girls and illiterate women in 125 villages and communities of Latin America, South Asia and East Africa. Educating girls is the single most cost-effective means for achieving human development and overcoming world poverty according to the United Nations, the World Bank and UNICEF.
Compassion Beyond Borders works in partnership with local grass-roots organizations that know the needs of their communities and how to meet them. CBB's Executive Director regularly visits these groups to verify their effective management, to uncover new needs and to plan project development.
CBB's average cost of educating an impoverished girl or illiterate woman is $50 annually.
100% of contributions to Compassion Beyond Borders go to educating women and children, since staff are volunteers and overhead costs are funded from private grants. CBB is a federal 501(c)(3) organization; donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.
