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.
