Donate/Invest
 We're
pioneering a new approach to donations. Rather than giving dollars that
get dramatically diluted between your checkbook and the people/projects
you'd like to help, you can use this method to directly provide tools
that create micro-businesses in developing countries. As the famous African
saying goes, "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day; teach a man
to fish and he eats forever." This section gives you an opportunity
to not only “teach people to fish” but also provide a variety
of "fishing poles”, tools that begin a systematic, expanding
progression out of poverty. See Donating
Tools for Progress for a more complete description.
This list describes people in developing countries with projects and dreams,
the tools and training they need to make these dreams real, and the nonprofit
organizations sponsoring and overseeing the project. Just click the Donate
button to send your contribution and we’ll take it from there including
keeping you in touch with how the project does and how the people feel
about your donation.

| Project Description:
Ocean Arks is exploring the possibility of growing alternative paper pulp plants on the Waste Water Restorers and harvesting them for use in production. This would essentially turn a wastewater treatment system into a paper producing nursery. They already have several funded projects that could incorporate this idea including treatment of waste in a sewage canal in China where they incorporated a bamboo and willow species. To really investigate the potential of this idea to be economically viable, they need some research funding to test out multiple species, harvesting mechanisms, and production/distribution channels.
