Skills to Share. Futures to Build.

We're creating a global future free from poverty and inequality by sharing the skills needed to thrive.

Lasting results require a long-term approach

For far too long the world has tried to lift up others by only providing resources, but resources only go so far. At Cuso International, we believe in the long-term. Long-term partnerships. Long-term programs. Long-term results. We work on today's most important development issues by connecting global communities in need with the skills they need to create lasting change. And we've been doing this for close to 60 years. How? Through education, empowerment and skills sharing, we are equipping people with the tools to create local economic opportunity, gender equality and better health.
