Philanthropy #1
Global Community Health - Bikes for Life
Research has shown that in developing regions of the world, millions of people walk for miles each day just to survive. On foot, individuals race against the sun to complete everyday tasks. Distance is a barrier to attending school, receiving healthcare, and delivering goods to market.
It is our mission to donate a portion of our profits to our Global Community Health - Bikes for Life program. This program will allows us the opportunity to purchase and provide bikes and bike repair training for rural communities as more often than not bicycle travel could mean the difference between life and death of an individual, and a community.
Program Highlights
The Global Community Health - Bikes for Life program can provide the following potential opportunities:
A community healthcare provider can travel between rural communities to render much needed healthcare
A child is able to attend school. Decreased travel times allow more time for learning.
Farmers can transport produce to market and/or to a highway that supports their ability to increase volume of deliveries and sales.
Females, young and old, will have access to healthcare, jobs, and the potential to a better life.
Philanthropy #2
Global Community Health - Education for Life
Research has shown that in developing regions of the world school library shelves sit empty, and schoolchildren often go empty handed. As a result, young minds go hungry.
Our goal is to help make education possible for all children.
It is our mission to donate a portion of our profits to our Global Community Health - Education for Life program. This program will allows us the opportunity to purchase and provide school books, pencils, backpacks, and other supplies for the local children and by doing so provide them with an opportunity to excel in school.
Program Highlights
The Global Community Health - Education for Life program can provide the following potential opportunities:
School Kits which include a backpack that includes a notebook, ruler, a dozen pencils, pencil eraser/sharpener, a glue stick, scissors, and a box of crayons.
A small stipend for teachers to purchase much needed supplies for the classroom!
Philanthropy #3
Global Community Health - Homes for Life
Research has shown that without safe and secure housing it can be difficult for families in developing countries to thrive.
Our goal is to help improve the lives of families in low-income areas, especially those with children, extended family, and those with disabilities.
It is our mission to donate a portion of our profits to our Global Community Health - Homes for Life program. This program will allows us the opportunity to purchase and provide construction materials that will be made available to our Homes for Life teams as they collaborate with the community on home improvement projects.
Program Highlights
The Global Community Health - Homes for Life program can provide the following potential opportunities:
Community renovation to include painting
Construction of schools, community buildings, and homes
