Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Kibera, located in Nairobi, Kenya, is one of the most densely populated urban settlements worldwide. Because Kibera lacks basic government services, like sanitation and sewage, the slum's 1 million residents suffer from many infectious diseases. Meanwhile, there is a severe shortage of health services.

Potential Long Term Impact
The Tabitha Clinic will provide 45,000 Kiberans with basic healthcare for treatable, infectious diseases, as well as educate them on epidemics like HIV/AIDS, allowing for greater disease control and for Kibera residents to live healthier lives.

Summary
This project provides mobile PC carts that each have 25 PCs (for students) and a laptop (for the teacher), which can turn any classroom into a computer lab.

Project Needs and Beneficiaries
In Egypt, many children, especially girls, have very limited acess to education. The problem is even more pronounced in the rural areas of the country, creating a tremendous challenge for students battling illiteracy and poverty. Girls often face restricted social spaces and an uphill struggle to get an education, due to factors such family pressures, inadequate facilities, and higher workloads at home. There is also often a shortage of teachers, and a lack of community involvement with schools.

Activities
CARE will provide access to computers and train teachers to incorporate technology into education. Students will gain computer literacy skills and be able to link to other students globally to expand their world views.

Potential Long Term Impact
This project will lead to increased instructional capacity of teachers, computer literacy skills for students and the creation of girls’ active social networks.

Project Message
While the Egyptian government has made efforts to increase the gross enrollment rate for students, access to basic education remains out of reach for many vulnerable children, especially girls.

Summary
This project will provide PCs to allow students to collaborate, exchange information and review e-learning material and expand teachers' resources and capacity to teach.

Project Needs and Beneficiaries
In India, more than 7 million children are out of school. Girls are less likely to enroll in school and more likely than boys to drop out, as they face considerable barriers to education. CARE has found that education plays a critical role in breaking cycles of illiteracy and poverty, and that education for women and girls has wide-reaching benefits for themselves as well as their families. CARE believes that girls’ education yields some of the highest returns of all development investments.

Activities
This project will provide a new educational experience for girls and teachers in rural areas. The laptops will enable girls to experience technology in the classroom and supplement their learning for better school performance.

Potential Long Term Impact
Students can improve critical thinking, financial literacy, math, science and writing skills, which will boost confidence and better prepare them for life's challenges ahead. Teachers will gain access to additional resources to improve their classes.

— Funds 4 power saving bulbs 0 — Funds a PV solar panel 00 — Funds a Transformer

Summary
Help GVI and the Seychelles National Parks Authority to reduce their impact on the environment and create a model environmentally sound research base with the installation of a solar energy system.

Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Curieuse Island is the fifth largest of the inner granitic islands in the Seychelles, and a designated national park. Our research team are responsible for collecting critical biological and physical data on coral reefs, Coco de mer Palms, and turtles on and around the Island. In line with our work and the pristine environment in which we are based it is important to reduce our impact on the area. In addition unreliable electricity sources inhibit our ability to carry out our critical research.

Activities
Installation of a solar power system at Curieuse will provide 24 hour electricity hugely increasing the productivity of the research centre. The system will save 2392 kg of CO2 entering the atmosphere annually hugely reducing our impact on the area.

Potential Long Term Impact
We will continue with biological monitoring on and around Curieuse Island. The solar system will enable staff and volunteers to collect and analyze increased amounts of data, and will serve as a working model for local NGO’s and government bodies.

Project Message
I feel that it is our responsibility and my personal goal to minimize the impacts the research program has on this pristine island. Solar energy will be a massive step towards achieving this goal.

Project Needs and Beneficiaries
The President’s Village is a children’s home to 56 children up to 18 years of age. With limited funding and resources the home struggles to provide even basic necessities for the children, with luxuries such as toys and books only provided by generous donors. Our help is needed to purchase school uniforms, stationary and to construct a playground so that the children have somewhere to play.

The long-term goal is to construct new buildings to house children between the age of 18 and 25 who can remain at the orphanage while seeking work, enabling them to integrate into wider society.

Project Message
I have witnessed first hand how staff work tirelessly with limited resources and the positive impact this has on the children’s lives. I am very pleased to see this project supporting the children.

— Buys a good quality soccer ball, letting the teams practice — Provides a uniform for one team member 0 — Provides good quality sneakers for the whole team

Summary
This project aims to equip and develop a community soccer programme run by local youths in Port au Prince, Haiti.

Project Needs and Beneficiaries
In the community where we're based, the local youths have little to do on the weekends and as a consequence have no positive way to deal with the stress of living in post-earthquake Port au Prince. They often find themselves in negative situations - gangs and "gangsterism" are constantly present and violence is common. As in U.S. cities, when young people lack positive outlets, the results can be devastating.

Activities
We've partnered with a local youth group called Rehabilitation to create a weekend soccer programme. The progamme aims to involve kids from across the community. Even those who don't play will be welcome to come cheer on their favourite team.

Potential Long Term Impact
This programme has the potential to keep at-risk youths in positive, constructive activities over the weekends. Rather than finding a sense of community in gangs, they can find it on a soccer team.

Project Message
We're trying to have something positive for the kids. There's so much negative around us - life is hard here. But this, this will be something positive. A way to empower our kids.

— provides shoes and clothing for a vulnerable child — funds school supplies to allow orphans to get an edcuation — supplies beds and mosquitoe nets

Summary
We're working with several orphanages in Port-au-Prince to help them meet the children’s needs. All of the orphanages we’ve identified were severely affected by the January earthquake.

Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Following the earthquake more than 1.5 million Haitians are homeless. The most vulnerable among these homeless Haitians are the children who lost one or both of their parents. Orphanages in Haiti are struggling to cope with more children and fewer resources, and the health and well-being of the kids is suffering.

Activities
We've identified several orphanages in our area in need of various kinds of support ranging from providing shoes to securing rent on a new property. The money you provide on this page will let us meet the needs of these vulnerable orphans.

Potential Long Term Impact
Providing security for orphans allows them to attend school, to be happy and healthy, and to grow into future leaders of Haiti. Without support, we condemn them to living a life of poverty.

Project Message
If we had what we need the children would healthier, happier, and we could focus on improving their lives in the long term, not just living day to day.
