MEET THE TEAM

    Building on General William Booth's philosophy to preach salvation to hungry people, along with the concept of soup, soap and salvation, the international Salvation Army has a perfect partnership opportunity.

    For more than 60 years, the international development department has collaborated with partners in developing nations on emergency and development initiatives in an effort to end the cycle of poverty. With an Army presence in 134 countries, the initiatives we support range widely in nature, from opportunities and safe water provision to health-care programs and the care of vulnerable children, as well as giving us the chance and privilege to respond promptly to global calamities. In every instance, the programs we support provide dignity and enduring hope to children and adults who might otherwise go unnoticed.
