Prosperity Worldwide is a nonprofit organization that utilizes donor contributions to carry out activities that deliver financial resources and tools to enhance Land O’Lakes International Development initiatives in developing countries. These projects promote a better quality of life through enhanced well-being, health, food security, and economic opportunity. Prosperity Worldwide’s beneficiaries are individuals, or cooperatives, non-governmental organizations and enterprises that are responsibly creating value for their owners or clients, and thereby contributing to sustainable development and economic growth. Prosperity Worldwide is an independent, privately-funded vehicle through which the general public can contribute to the goal of international development. The idea had been incubating for a long time within Land O’Lakes International Development, but was given impetus when Land O’Lakes board member Pete Kappelman traveled to Malawi in May 2000. His work there with small, Malawian dairy farmers in cooperative development revealed to him what a huge difference just a small amount of financial resources could mean in the lives of these struggling farmers, and inspired him to push Land O’Lakes to revisit this possibility. OUR MISSION Prosperity Worldwide will enhance Land O’Lakes International Development initiatives by providing complementary financial resources and tools to promote well-being and economic security. Prosperity Worldwide is funded by a global network of donors and development providers, including Land O’Lakes, other organizations, donors and the general public.
