New Community Project - Who are we?

The New Community Project is a faith-based nonprofit organization with the modest goal of changing the world! People are struggling, the earth is a mess, God's not amused, and we all know something's not right here. Our mission is to provide experiences that change us, resources that challenge us, and a community that gives us hope. Learn more about our programs and projects here and read about one specific area of our work below. Glad to have you along!

Every picture tells a story: Give a Girl a Chance

That's what we're trying to do—give girls (and women) the chance they need to live the life they deserve. Why do they need our help? Not because they lack intelligence, determination, faith or ability, but only because they lack opportunity and capacity. Working through our partners, NCP is helping women and girls have what they need to get where they want to go.

How do we do this? Of course money is important. Every year we send some $50,000 to our partners in Nepal, Burma, El Salvador and Sudan for girls' education (scholarships, uniforms, sanitary materials) and women's development (skills training, micro-credit, adult literacy, backyard gardening projects). Where does this money come from? From individuals, schools and college groups, church camps, congregations, and sister groups like the Global Women's Project who share our commitment to empowering women and girls.

What do we do with the money we receive? We send 100 percent of all contributions to our Special Projects to our partners themselves. What do our partners do with the money? Whatever they want to—well, sort of.
