Welcome from the President

Dear Friend,

Welcome to the Web site for Pact. We are a non-profit, mission-driven organization delivering support to those most in need while building the technical skills and capacity of those people to help themselves. We are a different organization and I encourage you to spend some time on our Web site to understand why.

Pact believes that the best assistance leaves behind knowledge, expertise, and a framework for people to pull themselves out of poverty. We deliver top-level technical assistance in multiple fields such as HIV/AIDS, economic opportunity, the environment, democracy/governance, and peace building.

Last year Pact assisted more than 12,000 organizations in 62 countries around the world—with those groups reaching millions more with vital support. Through innovative approaches like engaging and mobilizing youth movements, our groundbreaking women's empowerment program WORTH, and our Corporate Community Engagement (CCE) program bridging businesses with the communities in which they operate—Pact is adapting and continually finding new ways to make the most effective, positive and lasting impact in the lives of people around the world.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Pact’s vital mission. As we approach our 40th Anniversary, you will be hearing and reading a lot more about our history and, more importantly, our future. Please consider signing up to join Pact's online community and stay current on pressing development issues and ways you can make a difference in the lives of people around the world.

Sincerely,

Mark Viso
President and CEO
