Learn how REI builds people to build nations
We send long-term staff and short-term professionals
to train leaders in emerging countries so that they
can train others – building their nations and
bringing hope to future generations.
The work of REI is diverse in each emerging nation where we focus. Through education and medicine, business and agriculture, our highly skilled staff are training and developing others in nine locations in Asia and Africa.
As a non-profit, our organization and staff are financially supported by monthly and annual donations. Give today to be a part of building people to build nations!
REI staff and apprentices partner long-term in nine locations in Asia and Africa, and volunteers take annual short-term trips. If your professional goals for international development match ours, come with us!
