About Project Concern International
PCI’s mission is to empower people to enhance health, end hunger, overcome hardship and advance women & girls.
Project Concern International (PCI) is a global development organization that drives innovation from the ground up to enhance health, end hunger, overcome hardship and advance women & girls—resulting in meaningful and measurable change in people’s lives.
Guided by the core values of integrity, accountability, respect and creativity, PCI envisions a world in which the most vulnerable people will have the power to lift themselves out of poverty and to create vital, healthy lives for their families and communities now and for the future.
Founded in 1961 by a young doctor from San Diego, California, who saved the lives of two small children while volunteering at a health clinic in Tijuana, Mexico, today PCI works in 13 countries across Asia, Africa, and the Americas, including the United States. Last year PCI’s programs impacted the lives of over 21 million people worldwide.
PCI’s nearly 60 years of impact reached a new milestone in April 2020 with the announcement of a merger with global development and humanitarian assistance organization Global Communities. As the organizations work together to integrate, PCI will be known as PCI, a Global Communities Partner.
Together, the combined organization will deliver sustainable change to tens of millions of people in over 35 countries. Both organizations share the same values and a mission of working side-by-side with communities at home and around the world. The merger will increase the impact of proven programs and leverage complementary but unique geographic footprints and technical expertise. Once merged, Global Communities and PCI will form one of the most dynamic U.S.-based international non-governmental organizations, working closely with the U.S. government, foundations, philanthropies, and corporate and individual donors who support programs that help transform the lives and livelihoods of families and communities.
PCI has worked in Tanzania since 2008, increasing access to clean water, improving food and nutrition security among vulnerable children and families, and promoting the economic and social empowerment of women.
The United Republic of Tanzania is one of Africa’s fastest growing economies – making it the tenth largest economy in Africa. The Tanzanian economy is heavily based on agriculture, providing 85% of exports and accounting for half of the employed workforce. Economic advances have disproportionately benefitted urban centers, however, leaving the 70% of the population living in rural areas unaffected. Specifically, in rural areas, 81% of children experience multi-dimensional poverty and 34% of children under five are chronically malnourished (stunted). Tanzania’s wealth in natural resources and agricultural diversity present opportunities for livelihood improvement and sustainability for future generations.
Since 2008, PCI has consistently expanded its program portfolio which currently includes integrated school feeding programs, women’s empowerment groups, early child development and utilizing technology innovations in development. PCI’s community-focused programming approaches include partnership and coordination with national ministries, regional administrations, district councils, wards, and communities. PCI collaborates closely with other technical implementors as well as private sector partners to enable communities to empower themselves.
