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!

Djibouti is a land full of culture with many nationalities coming together in a beautiful display of hope. This month, we celebrated Multicultural Day at the International School of Djibouti (ISD). It was a joy to see so many different nations and cultures represented.
Djibouti is comprised of refugees from Sudan, Somalia, Yemen, Lebanon, Eritrea, and others. There are those from Ethiopia, Kenya, and multiple people groups, such as Afar and Oromo, who come in desperation, looking for help with fundamental, practical needs, searching for work . . .
