GLOBE, a student-managed academic program at St. John’s University, the Peter J. Tobin College of Business, provides loans to entrepreneurs in the developing world. Through GLOBE, students are educated about the world of microfinance while helping the impoverished help themselves and their families out of poverty. Students say: “We are committed to building a global community that is going to contribute to the goal of eradicating poverty within our lifetime."

The Water Project
Around the world, nearly a billion people have limited access to clean water. In order to get to a water source, some need to walk 3 miles to collect clean water.
From St. John's Queen Campus to Hillside Av that is equal to 3 miles. From St. John's Manhattan Campus to W 34 Street that is equal to 3 miles.
Can you imagine walking 3 miles to get water?
Take a look at thewaterproject.org to learn more.
