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.

Flashlight for Takha Village, Tibet $270.00
Collapse
Project Description: Takha is village of forty nomadic households in Tibet which needs flash lights. Since animals are sent to eat grass during the day, most of the dairy work occurs in late evenings. As result, people fall in the dark and hurt themselves. We found a perfect flash light for these nomads. All they have to do is shake it every time they use it. No battery is required. We are hoping to send at least five flashlights at a time so we will save money on shipping cost (Ref. 89353-28)
