"For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required." (Luke 12:48)

What is “ChooseAneed”?

As we look around the world we have seen people dying for lack of clean water, food, or basic healthcare. It is our belief that the barriers involved with foreign aid do not excuse us from a human, societal, or religious obligation to do something, no matter how small. We believe that what we CAN do is choose a specific need that we see, or someone else shows us, and then work to meet that need in some small way, financially or otherwise, through our knowledge or gifts. The goal of ChooseAneed is to help make those of us who can do something more aware of these specific needs, and then to help facilitate the meeting of those needs.

The needs that we feature are collected from around the world and are brought to our attention by our board members, ChooseAneed members, and our partner organizations. Typically we feature up to 25 needs at a time on the website.

You can always see the details and the postneeds report of previous projects by looking at our completed needs section of the website. All funds raised for the project go to the project. The board personally funds the administration and maintenance of this website.

This website is actively updated and we ask that you return frequently to see our progress and find new ways you may want to be involved.
