About
JustWorld International
Established in 2003, JustWorld International was created to connect equestrians with a direct way to help fracture the cycle of poverty through education, healthcare, and nutrition programs for children around the world. Thousands of Ambassadors from more than forty countries have since committed to “Ride for the Cause” and transform the lives of children through equestrian sport. JustWorld has united the international equestrian community and become an Official Charity Partner of the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI), the world governing body of equestrian sport. Envisioning a more just world, the non-profit organization cultivates strategic, project partnerships in a collaborative approach to impact the lives of nearly 10,000 children around the globe on a daily basis.
Values
The heart of JWI is in providing quality education to children in developing communities. Education is the most powerful weapon against poverty. JWI recognizes that children first need to be healthy, sheltered and well nourished in order to learn, and is proud to support a whole child approach. JWI partners with local organizations to ethically and effectively support the unique needs of each community.
JWI funds global humanitarian programs that help children who fall beyond the reach of government or other large-scale organizations to address gaps in education. JWI conducts a thorough vetting and evaluation process to ensure that supported partners are effective. Deep working relationships with project leaders, frequent project visits, monthly reports and virtual meetings keeps JWI funded program transforming lives for many years to come.
Vision
JustWorld International aims to fracture the cycle of poverty and secure brighter futures for the children and communities we serve.
In 2019, JustWorld became Official Charity Partner of the Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI), the world governing body of equestrian sport.
JustWorld International unites the international equestrian community to sustain education, healthcare, and nutrition programs around the world which benefit children with little opportunity to receive support from other sources. Formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the FEI and JWI collaborate on the development of JustWorld International equestrian charity programmes. The FEI partnership encourages equestrians from around the world to support a cause and proven methodology that is changing lives and fracturing the cycle of poverty.
“The partnership with JustWorld International will allow us together to provide incredible benefits to disadvantaged children around the world.”
