Greatest Needs
In our work across Asia, we identify urgent projects that require immediate funding. We call these projects Greatest Needs, and we seek donors who are willing to commit funding for an entire project. Every few months, we update this list so that new projects can be funded and new needs can be met. We invite you to make one of these urgent needs your own.
