The Wills Project
Partnering with communities around the world to meet basic human needs through education, nutrition, and healing.
About The Wills Project
The Wills Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children and families in Malawi, South Africa, Colombia, and India. Inspired by a post-retirement vision and named in honor of my parents who emphasized the importance of education, The Wills Project exists to make a lasting difference where the need is greatest.
After decades of counseling work and visiting countries where people are facing extreme poverty, lack of education, and limited access to hygiene and mental health support, I knew I had to act. This project was born out of a deep desire to collaborate with local humanitarian leaders to implement real solutions that meet real needs—from feeding programs to early childhood education, mental health counseling, and addiction recovery.
We believe that in order to thrive, communities need more than hope—they need resources, empowerment, and a chance to build their futures.
