About Us

Who We Are

Good Neighbors is an international humanitarian development NGO founded in Korea in 1991. It was granted General Consultative Status from the United Nations Economic and Social Council (UN ECOSOC). To make the world a place without hunger, where people live together with harmony, we work in 49 countries with our focus on community development projects to protect children’s rights and encourage the self-reliance of communities. 

Good Neighbors USA is registered nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization in California and has been operating in the United States since 2008 to support people in need, both locally and internationally. We primarily focus on 1:1 Child Sponsorship and Project Sponsorship with partner countries to bring about tangible changes in the lives of children and their communities. We believe that for a child to become self-resilient, her family, school, and community must change. Therefore, we conduct projects in six focus areas: education, health & nutrition, water & sanitation, income generation, advocacy, and emergency relief, to make these changes come to life.

Good Neighbors exists to create a world free of hunger, where people live together in harmony.
