- We provide meals for children
that were looking through trash
for food to eat.
- We enroll children in primary
school, and free them of the
burden of needing to earn
money by selling items found in
the trash.
- We provide microloans to the
mothers of trash-dump children
to start businesses, so that the
families do not become
dependent on our aid.

The women and girls we find living in
the trash dumps are in desperate
situations, and are usually:
- Abandoned or running away
from abusive men.
- Illiterate and lacking in job skills.
- Suffering from hunger, and
searching for food.
- Sleeping in makeshift shelters
inside the dump.
- Unable to afford schooling
- Traveling for miles to sell their
finds from the trash dump

Aid for Safe Drinking Water
Please help villagers in the poorest
regions of the world gain access to
safe drinking water. It is the mothers
and girls that would benefit most, since
they bear the burden of bringing water
to the home.
Developing clean drinking water
sources not only prevents deadly
illnesses, but frees mothers and girls
from making long, arduous trips, and
allows girls to attend school.

to the home.
- We drill boreholes, and install
pumps to draw clean water from
the ground, and construct tanks
to store water.
- Where demand is outstripping
supply (causing the water table
to be falling rapidly), we install
rainwater harvesting systems.
Developing clean drinking water
sources not only prevents deadly
illnesses, but frees mothers and girls
from making long, arduous trips, and
allows girls to attend school.
Our special thanks to our partner Dining for Women (DFW) !! Their generous grant will be used to build
a program to support 50 mothers and 100 daughters presently living in the trash-dumps of Pune, India.
Grant funding will go towards adult literacy services, microloans to the mothers to start small businesses,
and enrolling the daughters in primary school. The members of DFW are to be commended for freeing
these families from wastepicking (selling and eating scraps found in the trash).
