Change starts with sharing what you know
Cuso International has connected with communities around the world to help end poverty and inequality and build opportunity, for nearly 60 years. We aren't stopping now.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has damaged people’s health, communities and livelihoods. And as bad as it is in North America, it's hitting the developing world even harder. Our work is needed now more than ever.
