People for Care & Learning: Empowering the World's Poorest

Founded in 2002, People for Care & Learning (PCL) is a non-profit humanitarian organization that combines training with opportunities to give the poor a chance at a better life. Operating in Southeast Asia and the United States, PCL aims to eradicate the cycle of poverty by adopting a holistic, systematic approach that focuses on six key areas: education, housing, feeding programs, business development, water and health, and children and widows. PCL is dedicated to serving disadvantaged communities around the world by giving them a working chance.



A top-rated non-profit, PCL relies completely on donated gifts, 100 percent of which go directly to projects; nothing is deducted for operating, travel, or overhead expenses. To date, People for Care & Learning has dug 56 clean water wells and built 105 homes. Every month, PCL serves 6,400 meals, provides medical care to 828 patients across 8 clinics, and delivers leadership development training to 461 students across 9 locations, among others.
