Plenty International - (931) 964-4323

Plenty is a village-based alternative development agency.

Plenty is a not-for-profit 501-c-3 organization that was created to help protect and share the world's abundance and knowledge for the benefit of all.

Plenty supports economic self-sufficiency, cultural integrity and environmental responsibility in partnership with community groups and organizations in Central America, the U.S., the Caribbean, and Africa.

Since 1974, hundreds of Plenty volunteers have worked in 19 countries on projects such as organic agriculture, food production and nutrition, cooperative businesses, solar energy, communications, health care, disaster relief, Fair Trade crafts marketing, and ecotourism.

In all its activities, Plenty seeks to collaborate across cultural and organizational barriers and with groups and individuals who share a similar vision.

Each of us can make a difference. When heartfelt efforts are amplified by cooperation across cultures and generations, we move closer to a peaceful, fair, and equitable world. Plenty is a tool to help make that world a reality. Click here for more info on volunteering with Plenty.
