Good Neighbours is an international humanitarian development non-governmental organization (NGO) founded in South Korea in 1991.

Under the Good Neighbours’ international governance, we focus on fundraising, refugee and newcomer settlement programs, and global development campaigns to support field projects.

Good Neighbours Canada created and launched Goods4Causes, to reach our donors and supporters across Canada. Goods4Causes is a social enterprise which sells handmade items from international communities and local social enterprises in Ontario.
