Spiritual impact

We work from a Christian worldview. We believe in a God of love and want to contribute in countries where our assistance may be relevant. In every project it is important to us to look at how we can share this love through the company and help people develop spiritually.

Economic impact

World Partners helps with setting up and maintaining businesses. A successful business provides many economic opportunities for the region: income comes to the region, jobs are created and expanding technical knowledge offers many opportunities for future enterprises.

Social impact

We believe it is important that entrepreneurs are socially involved. We encourage entrepreneurs with whom we collaborate to put this into practice. They can express social involvement in two ways: through management that respects people and the environment, and by using company profits to support social projects.
