International Samaritan Day
Oct 25 / Luke 10:25
The Reality
🌍 Entire families live and work in landfills to survive.
📚 Education, food, water, healthcare can change everything.
❤️🩹 Deaths are common but preventable.
Breaking the Cycle
Breaking the cycle of poverty takes more than charity – it takes lasting change
At International Samaritan, we believe in walking alongside families living in and around garbage dumps to break the chains of generational poverty through education, healthcare, and opportunities to build a future beyond survival.

Take A Step With ...
The Good Samaritan saw someone in need and made a simple choice: to stop and help.
By October 25, to honor the biblical account in Luke 10:25, we’re looking for Samaritans to step in for 20 children.
These kids are hoping and waiting for the opportunity to continue studying and building a path to a brighter future.
Let’s raise $60,000 to help fund 20 holistic scholarships. Below are a few of the scholars waiting for funding.
100% of your donation goes directly to families in poverty.
Join our church and school partners who are raising funds for scholarships.
Imagine if this were your life
Students in the International Samaritan scholarship program are growing up next to city garbage dumps in developing nations. Life is often all about survival! They face many tough decisions, including the ones in the stories below. If you were in the same situation, what would you do?
Click on each link to go through a choose-your-own-path type of story to see what you would do if faced with these choices. The story has multiple outcomes! Unlike in real life, in these stories you can go back and see what it would have been like if you had chosen a different path. While these stories are fictional, they’re based on the real-life experiences of multiple students in the International Samaritan scholarship program. The photos in each story depict actual scholars, volunteers, and team members. At the end of each story, you’ll meet some real-life team members and scholars.
