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.

Solar Lanterns for Dhonsho Village, Tibet $550.00
Collapse
Project Description: Solar Lanterns for Dhonsho Village The majority of Tibetans in rural areas use diesel fuel for lamps. Diesel is expensive, frequently unaffordable, and causes burns and serious health problems. “My phlegm is black every morning from burning diesel”, says a villager. Solar lanterns are durable, easy to use and carry from room to room. They reduce health risks and fire hazards, prevent injury from tripping at night, help children study, and parents work on an income-generating craft (89353-7).
