Telling Our Story
Every day, all over the world, USAID brings peace to those who endure violence,
health to those who struggle with sickness, and prosperity to those who live in poverty.
It is these individuals — these uncounted thousands of lives — that are the true measure
of USAID’s successes and the true face of America’s foreign assistance programs.
The Telling Our Story project seeks to document these lives.
This Web site acts both as a tool to help us collect stories about this work and as a record
of how USAID efforts bring hope into the lives of individuals, families and communities.
We need you to share stories, photos, quotes and facts about your work, which will then
be featured as a part of the USAID Web site and other communications materials. Through
your stories, we hope to be able to show that the resources of America are helping better
the lives of people all around the world.
