Project Report | Oct 12, 2025
Defeating poverty

By Shayle Havemann | Project leader

Government funding is limited and doesn't help our community, so we focus on empowering and supporting our community of El Cocal to tackle social and economic challenges and help implement solutions, designed by them. Solutions include infrastructure, minority inclusion, alternative income generation, education, healthy habits and conservation all that will protect the lives.

Education is key to breaking this cycle. Our project works to support, empower and train our local community members as well as provide critical funding to allow this community to work together and build on the infrastructure to allow the local community to grow, develop education and work to create income-driven projects to become self-sustainable. Without your donations and our support, many of these people would be homeless, unemployed and hungry. Let's take action and change these lives.

A donation of USD20 will provide one child with a healthy breakfast for a month! Thank you for your help.
