MAP International is a charitable organization that provides assistance to any place or communities around the world that requires help. The group of global Christian organizations work by distributing collected donations to poverty stricken areas or communities under calamity in an effort to save the lives of millions of human beings. 

The charitable institution is one of the highest placed charities in the world at the moment.  In fact, they’re considered to be a 4-star charity. The mission of the charity is simple: to save as many lives as they can and to build healthier and happier communities. One of the reasons why MAP International has received such a high rating is their transparency. 

The organization is committed to their mission and they show this by being transparent. In fact, 98% of the donations that they receive go directly to their programs. They claim that for every dollar they receive, $60 worth of medicines are shipped to the communities they are helping. Furthermore, all of their financial records are reviewed by independent auditors and are available for their supporters to see. 

MAP International may be a Christian led charity and supported mainly by Christians around the world, but the communities they help are from different religions and races. They are willing to help any community or person regardless of religion, race, gender, or nationality. 

The charity focuses mainly on improving community health. Their Total Health program not only aims to provide medicines and other healthcare instruments, but also to guide the communities in reaching a point where they can help themselves. 

MAP International is based in Brunswick, Georgia, and is currently being led by Michael Nyenhuis. MAP Mission Teams are scattered around the world. Every year, close to 1.5 million individuals, mostly from North America, join one of their teams on short-term mission trips that can last from a few days to a few months.
