A little help can make a huge difference
HINT has been invited by Globalgiving.com to seek for a permanent spot on their fundraising site.
We have submitted the Due Diligence documents and are waiting to hear from Globalgiving.com. If approved, we will be required to raise at least $3000 within 3 weeks from at least 50 unique donors to qualify for a permanent spot on the site.
We will keep you infromed as tthe process gets on.
In our efforts to end poverty, HINT has started another Credit Group at upper Bonduma with 6 women.
Two group members who qualify have already received their first round of loans. We are working with the other 4 and will be giving out their loans soon.
The possibility of creating this Credit Group and supporting the women has been possible thanks to a $500 donation from John & Elizabeth Batton in Dallas/Fort Worth, USA.
Through our innovative and high impact Credit Groups strategies, we are libearating several rural women from the grip of poverty through micro-loans and training. If you can help or partner with us, please visit the How you can help page. Thank you.
Computers 4 Africa (C4A), a charity organised based in the UK has donated a 20ft container of computers to Helps International to support its School PCs Project.
We look forward to receiving the container towards the end of May 2009.
In the meantime, we will like to express our appreciation to Computers 4 Africa through its Executive Director Mr. Cook and especially to Miss Faith Dziruni who has worked hard behind the scenes, putting together the container and also especially to the volunteers who worked hard to collect and load the container.
We currently and urgently need financial support to transport the container from the UK to Buea.
