Mission: Our purpose is to strengthen communities. This is achieved by: identifying local leadership already at work in their communities, empowering them with the tools that will make their goals achievable, assisting in the provision of educational support and skill development that will raise the standard of living for the local populous, intervening in emergency situations, and networking and partnering with other non-profit organizations, churches, and corporations to make the dream of community change a reality. Our core values include: compassion, dignity, respect, integrity, accountability, and relationships. World Impact Network's educational programs provide personal and professional development for leaders without regard to religious beliefs, gender, or cultural and ethnic backgrounds of those we serve.
Results: Since 2007, WIN has graduated students through our partnerships with various American accredited universities. This year WIN launched it's new initiative, The New International University (TNIU). TNIU is an online American theological institution that provides undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate degree programs for leaders in the emerging world. We believe that giving leaders the ability to receive education in their own contexts allows them to generate knowledge related to the social, political and economic issues that are prevalent in their own communities and nations. They can study while continuing to server their communities. WIN also continues to provide informal training for leaders globally through income generating skill training and basic medical intervention and prevention programs as well as disaster preparedness awareness.
Target demographics: bring about positive change in the lives of leaders both locally and in the emerging nations.
Direct beneficiaries per year: Each year Win and TNIU targets hundreds of leaders when delivering both formal and informal education globally.
