FFF 2008 raised US$ 1,830

Our lone annual fundraiser called Food For Funds (FFF) raised US$1,830 during the months of October/November 2008.

We wish to express our heart-felt gratitude to all our donors all of whom are US citizens who still gave despite the hash economic crisis that the USA and the entire worked is going through.

In keeping with our principle of transparency, we are grateful for the following donors:

  • Brian and Christe Dodds, Texas
  • John & Elizabeth Batton, Texas
  • Stuart Nice, California
  • Pastor Beverly Freeman, Texas
  • More names soon

US$ 1,830 will provide business training, HIV information/training and loans to about 18 deserving and hardworking women who are entrepreneurs. This effort will indirectly improve the lives of about 130 people, given the large average family size in Cameroon.

Donations are still being accepted. If you want to donate by check, online or other means, please follow this link: http://www.www.hintonline.org/category/how-you-can-help. Thank you.

HINT is now a certified ICIP partner with INVENEO, USA

by Leave a Comment

Inveneo is a non-profit social enterprise whose mission is to get the tools of ICT into the hands of organizations and people who need them most: those in remote and rural communities in the developing world.

To do this, Inveneo creates and sells highly affordable and sustainable ICTs that are specifically designed for organizations — governments, NGOs, private enterprises — that serve these rural communities with vital services that include education, healthcare, economic development, relief and telecenters. Our ICTs are designed to overcome challenges that these organizations face:

  • Lack of dependable, if any, electricity
  • Extremely high cost of power
  • Prevalence of heat, dust, moisture and humidity, often punishing conditions for ICTs
  • Lack of affordable access to Internet and telephony services
  • Novice users and administrators

This partnership follows HINT’s participation in Inveneo’s workshop in Cameroon in November 2007.

Becoming a certified ICIP means we can sell and install Inveneo equipment.

Celebrate World Food Day this Thursday October 16 in a unique way.

Celebrate World Food Day this Thursday October 16 in a unique way.

Share a meal with your family, friends, co-workers or neighbours and remember the over 850 million people who know what it’s like to go to bed hungry every night around the world. Let your FOOD become FUNDS that will FEED a life!

As an organization, we have been actively involved in helping people come out of poverty in practical ways by building life skills and providing micro-loans for business start-up or expansion through funds we raise during our annual fund raiser – Food For Funds.

In 2007, Brian & Christe Dodds in Dallas/Fort Worth, USA decided to help and through their effort about $3000 was raised and this amount impacted the lives of about 30 women and over 210 people indirectly. Testimonies of last year’s recipients are here: http://fff.hintonline.org/07testimonies.htm. Join and help us meet our target of $10,000 this year to assist 80 families.

“If you can’t feed a hundred people, then just feed one”. Mother Theresa

As you take your breakfast, lunch and dinner this Thursday October 16, please remember in any way you can, the over 5 million children a year who die of hunger.” That means 1 child dies every 5 seconds of hunger! (Source: FAO)
