Core offering

Project Concern International, now operating as Global Communities, is a nonprofit humanitarian and international development organization that designs and directly implements community-centered programs in global health, food systems, financial inclusion, and humanitarian assistance across more than 20 countries. Its service portfolio includes school meals, maternal and newborn health programs, women's financial empowerment groups, emergency sanitation and recovery, and supporting digital tools such as AfriScout and iHRIS. Revenue is generated through donations, grants, and charitable contributions rather than commercial product sales.

Product overview

Global Communities operates as a humanitarian and international development organization rather than a traditional product company. Its portfolio consists of community-focused programs across four main impact areas: Global Health, Food Systems, Financial Inclusion, and Humanitarian Assistance. The programs include School Meals Programs (serving 51,800 children in Guatemala), Healthy Start initiatives in Southern California, AfriScout for African pastoralists, Syria LIFE for emergency response, Women Empowered for financial inclusion, Continuum of Family Care, and the iHRIS Digital Health Tool for health workforce management. Financial inclusion programs have facilitated loans to 10 million individuals in Jordan. The organization does not offer a unified software platform but rather distinct, geographically and thematically targeted social impact programs.
