We strive always to demonstrate the great love of God and to give hope to hurting & needy people coming from all walks of life.

We focus especially upon touching the lives of young poverty-stricken children. We provide many very needy children with shelter, food, shoes & clothing, education, healthcare, and love & affection. During the past fiscal year, September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2024, Touching Lives Worldwide successfully continued with most of the programs and projects that that existed before this fiscal year. Touching Lives Worldwide, Inc. continues to partner with Dominican Republic and Haiti non-profit organizations as well as two churches which all are based mainly out of Dajabon, Dominican Republic and Quanaminthe, Haiti.
