Telling our Story

Every day, all over the world, USAID brings hope to those who suffer from violence, health to those who struggle with sickness, and support to those who live in poverty. It is these individuals – these uncounted millions of lives – that are the true measure of USAID’s success and the true face of America’s foreign assistance programs. The Telling our Story initiative seeks to document thse successes by spotlighting their lives.

Through anecdotes, photos and facts, USAID’s Telling Our Story creates a record of how the American people assist individuals, families, and communities. USAID overseas missions and their partners submit stories about their work online, which are then converted into ready-to-use publications and other online resources. The publications’ simple design and clear language make them versatile communications tools that share America’s successes wit ha global audience.
