Rev Carl Keyes Aid for the World Challenges

Where the complexities of larger bureaucracies have often caused them to fail or become subject to famously enormous waste (see Oxfam reports on lack of accountability after the Aceh tsunami), Rev Carl Keyes begins work by focusing on smaller, sustainable opportunities to address need. We do not pretend to be able to address the most massive global needs. We seek instead to put a face on giving and working together with an emphasis on local context.
