Almost 1 billion people around the world are living in conditions of extreme poverty and almost half of the world's population live on less than $2 a day (UN Human Development Report, 2006). However, the resources, skills and strategies exist to break this cycle of suffering and bring hope for a better future to the lives of many.
Mission International is committed to seeing this happen by empowering people, offering them choice, and equipping them to make decisions and take action to improve their lives.
Welcome to Mission International
Violet's Story Violet lives in Manila, the Philippines. Together with her husband and three children, she lives in a make-shift hut on a vacant lot without access to running water or other basic necessities. Violet would spend many long hours in back-breaking work as a street sweeper, but her meagre wage was not sufficient to pay the rent required for even a small basic house, or to buy enough food to adequately feed herself and her family.
