About Project Stories

Humans are storytellers. It is part of who and what we are. While the projects are fascinating to learn about, it's the stories that really bring it alive. The stories illustrate how the projects are impacting people and communities. The stories may also show lessons learned along the way -- lessons that can be used by others who have an idea. If you are involved in a project, we want to hear your story. Contact us at dminfo@worldbank.org with "Story for the Web" in the subject line. We will contact you and discuss your approach.
