Self-Help International is a 501(c)(3) non-profit working to alleviate hunger by helping people help themselves. We support rural communities, small-scale farmers, and local enterprises in Nicaragua and Ghana to become self-reliant through training, education, leadership development, and technical assistance. SHI focuses on agricultural advancement, women’s empowerment, nutrition and health, and clean water access while building collaborative partnerships and raising global awareness of food insecurity.
Our U.S. offices in Waverly and Des Moines focus on fundraising, volunteer engagement, governance, and program support.
