Why Paul Peters Founded the Nehemiah International Foundation Paul Peters founded the Nehemiah
International Foundation with a profound purpose. He determined that God's purpose for him was to use his God-given resources, wealth, and abilities to help people around the world discover their own purpose, find hope, and experience the bounty of God's love and abundance.
Paul had a vision that supporting others in need, both in the US and worldwide, to rise up, find their purpose, hope, and know the love of God was essential. He believed that by investing in people living in economically challenging circumstances, they could rise up and create something that supports and sustains their families.
He and his team began searching for projects that aligned with this vision, leading to the launch of Proyecto Mujeres, located in Guatemala. This cornerstone project focuses on empowering women to achieve economic independence by starting and growing entrepreneurial ventures. There are plans to expand this important opportunity to women living in challenging economic circumstances throughout Latin America.
