Feeding Families in Haiti
The Feeding Families Project is a sustainable farm project to help 500 families address hunger through vegetable gardens, fruit tree plantings, and the breeding of goats, rabbits and chickens. Partners has teamed up with Global Giving to raise funds, which will provide seeds, animals, and supplies, as well as technical training.  Donate today!
Donate to Symphony for Life - Ecuador!
The social program “Symphony for Life” allows hundreds of boys and girls from marginalized communities to get opportunities they never imagined through music.  We invite you to support us in changing lives through a unique donation opportunity where every donated note brings us closer to completing our symphony and reaching our goal of helping the youth of Ecuador.
