Outreach is a non-profit corporation located in Union, Iowa, USA. Outreach has Federal Tax Exemption Certification 501 (c)(3).

Outreach was created in 2004 following the return of the founder and his wife who had traveled to Tanzania on a construction mission. During that trip they experienced the death of many children from hunger and related diseases. They also found skilled crafts people living in the area. Purchasing truckloads of maize, they began bartering maze for baskets. At the end of 3 months they had over 12,000 baskets. This was the beginning of Outreach. They recognized the way to break the cycle of poverty and starvation was through education.

Since those early beginnings, Outreach has purchased for cash over 25,000 baskets in the area. The combined investment by the families in the area and donor contributions has allowed Outreach to focus on developing services in the area of water, food, medicine, and education. We recognize that educating a child or a village is impossible while the lack of water, food, and medical services exists.
