FXB is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting children and families hit hardest by poverty and AIDS. FXB International works alongside communities in Asia, Africa, and Latin America to improve local health, education, and economic opportunity. FXB International’s work is supported by FXB USA in the United States. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, partners, and sponsors around the world, FXB has been helping families escape poverty for over 20 years.
There are many ways you can support FXB’s work, but one of the most effective is to become a fundraiser. As a fundraiser, you will help spread word of FXB’s programs while also raising much needed financial support, without which FXB could not continue to help families and children in need.
