Projects
By way of our projects, we support different foundations whose mission aligns with ours. We assist them, by helping disseminate their programs, thereby creating awareness and generating campaigns to collect funds to support their objectives.
Carmela's Kitchen
Carmela's Kitchen is the kitchen that provides food for 1150 extremely poor children in a school located in Malawi, Africa. Our project supports the global Mary's Meals movement that feeds over two million children in the poorest places in the world and whose volunteer logistics and network allows one child to be fed for an entire school year with just $25.
Strategically, Mary's Meals builds its kitchens in schools so that children are encouraged to attend classes and receive an education, which is a synonym of hope of a possibly better future, free of poverty. For many children, it is the only nutritious meal they get during the day.
There is no big or small contribution, or limit for your donation. What really matters is that together we are managing to impact the lives of these children forever.
