OUR INTENTION
Our intention is to connect a like minded community of helpers. Collaborating to create a change in the world. We believe by working together we can have a greater impact to make a positive change in peoples lives.
WHY WE DO IT
After a life changing charity run in India and residing in Indonesia with their two young children The Help Experience creators Josh and Casey Cordoba returned home to Australia with a deep yearning to face reality and HELP! They began their searched and felt disheartened, but they did not loss hope. Struggling to find ways to effectively and powerfully have an impact and make a lasting difference to those truely in desperate need - they decided to create a project now known as The Helpers and The Helper’s Experience.
Conscious that the need is too great and the challenges too complex for any one person to succeed alone, they believe that by collaborating and joining together for a common purpose we can achieve greater impact.
“We wanted to be those who dream big, create change and impact the future. In order to fulfil our ‘big dream’ we needed to create something real, raw and effective. So we decided to stop dreaming and BE the change by demonstrating a better way of doing business - democratic, environmentally sustainable, socially responsible, and so was born The Help Experience.”

OUR MISSION
Help develop microenterprises in less fortunate countries.
Why? While direct aid is completely necessary in the short term, long term development can only be achieved in poor countries through economic development. Microfinance organisations help entrepreneurs in poor countries to fund growth of their businesses. That may be something as simple buying a new goat, or it might be something more complex like building a small dam. What seems like small chips to us in the developed world can be a game-changer for an entrepreneur in a poor country.
From the beginning, the innovation of microfinance has allowed less fortunate people – usually excluded from the traditional banking system – to obtain credit to develop microenterprises and build savings.
Microfinance has become a real means of reducing poverty by improving both people’s standard of living and economic self-sufficiency, as well as offering a pathway to education, health care and equity between men and women.
