The World Bank is one of the world's largest sources of development assistance, but we are not a bank in the common sense; we aim to help people help themselves and their environment by sharing knowledge and providing financial and technical assistance. Conceived in 1944 to reconstruct war-torn Europe, we work in more than 100 developing countries. The World Bank works closely with countries in Eu
