One Collective
One Collective is a global non-profit that works in communities around the world so that no one is invisible and everyone has access to food, freedom, and forgiveness. We send trained leaders into communities around the world who come alongside locals and listen carefully to their needs and strengths. We stick with communities long-term, caring for economic, physical, and spiritual needs. We search for the invisible, and our leaders bring people from the community and others together to help the oppressed.
