> WE ARE SERVING THE SERVANTSA message from Michael Nyenhuis, President & CEO: At MAP International, we know that no one solution can “solve” 3rd world poverty or “cure” all disease in third world countries. We know that different communities have different needs, different countries and country villages have different challenges. This is where MAP International is different from other non-profits and aid programs. At MAP, our team works at the village or community level to understand what their most pressing needs are. We then work with them to develop responses to those needs. But it is the people themselves who create the specific programs to meet those needs. MAP provides guidance, technical expertise, and some financial support, but the planning and achievements are a result of the communities working together to solve their own issues. As CEO, this unique methodology of “serving the servants” and creating real hope and lasting change by partnering with people in poverty remains my passion. And this same passion resides within my staff and board. |
