Smiles For Africa hasn't added a story.
Based in super sunny Cairns, Australia; Smiles For Africa is a
registered charity seeking to use the Millenium Development Goals and
the 6 Education For All Goals as a guide to reducing the effects and
causes of poverty in the Democratic Republic of the Congo by providing
basic necessities and educational provisions.
In plain English, we want to make the DRC a better place to live
by giving the people who live there the basics. Our ultimate goal is
to become unnecessary.
There is heaps of research out there indicating that welfare
systems mainly cause a dependant relationship, which doesn't help anyone.
So we offer a hand up, not a hand out.
We believe that through education and equipping locals for key
areas for community benefit (things like electrical and plumbing
work), a whole community can be changed for the better in just ONE generation.
Our current project is establishing a boarding school for Orphans.
But we can't do this alone. This Christmas, help us to make the world a bit better for a few kids- kids who, without us, would have no hope for the future. All money raised in this campaign will go directly towards the school- purchasing the land and building supplies.
Not admin fees. Not paying staff- who are ALL volunteers.
Whats even better, is that the President of Smiles For Africa will personally match every dollar given during this campaign.
Together, we can do this.
