One Body Ministries Who We Are
We are a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We work with overlooked villages in India so families can drink safe water, eat, learn, and raise children with dignity.
If you came here to learn One Body Ministries who we are, here is the short version. We close gaps that larger programs often miss and work with local partners. We keep the path from your gift to the village short.
Our mission
Poverty is not one problem. Consequently it is dirty water, empty bowls, no books, and children with no safe home.
So we work on more than one front:
- Clean water. We drill borewells so a village can drink water that will not make people sick.
- Hunger relief. We put meals in the hands of children and families who need food now.
- Education. Our Building Dreams work translates school materials into local languages and places books and supplies with students.
- Orphan care. We partner with homes that give vulnerable children shelter, school, and support.
- Health and sanitation. We help build the basics that keep disease down and let a community stand on its own.
See the full list on our programs page.
Who we serve
We focus on forgotten villages in India, including Dalit communities. These places are easy to skip. They are often too small for big aid to notice. That is why we go there.
Furthermore, we do not work around people. We work with them. The name “One Body” means we stand with the community, not over it.
Who leads the work
Above all a volunteer board of directors stewards this charity. Larry Beauregard serves as chairman. Mark Kinney oversees our finances. Lastly the board is based around Tucson, Arizona, with one member in Canada.
We were formed in 2020. Our EIN is 84-3327707. We hold Candid’s Platinum Seal of Transparency. You can also read our financial transparency page.
What your gift has already done
These numbers are what we have published so far:
- 4 clean water wells
- 11,407 meals
- 1,173 school books and supplies
- 300 blankets
Undoubtedly every number started with someone who chose to give.
Why this work matters
One Body Ministries who we are is not a slogan. It is a small team that turns gifts into wells, meals, books, and care.
When you give, you help a mother stop walking miles for unsafe water. You help a child stay in class. You help a village keep its dignity.
