Our partner in this project, Netting

Nations, reports that

The nets have reached

Beacon House orphanage

in Accra, Ghana.  They tell us:

 

“I want you to know just how

appreciative Beacon House

was for your contribution.  

They were absolutely thrilled

because they were so desperate

for nets at this moment,

during the height of an 

extra-rainy rainy season in

Ghana this year.   They send

their sincere and great thanks.”

to eradicate malaria, you can make a donation

WHO WE ARE Minimize

WELCOME!  YOU TOO CAN MAKE

A GREATER CONTRIBUTION! 

If you are yearning for a chance to make a difference, to make a greater contribution, read on!   We believe that regardless of skin color, gender, or nationality, we are all one and yet so many people around the world are struggling to live in unimaginably difficult conditions.  We believe that we all must begin to shift our thinking from a focus on "me" to a focus on "we".  We believe that by working together we can make a significant improvement in the lives of those almost 3 billion people struggling to live on less than $2/day. 

Margaret Mead said it best:  "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world.   Indeed it's the only thing that ever has."

The Greater Contribution (TGC) is a non-profit 501C3 agency founded by a small group of women seeking to make a 'greater contribution’  to the world by helping people suffering from hunger, poverty, disease, natural disasters and war.  We do this by raising awareness and funds to support developmental efforts and emergency relief around the world. We are also a vehicle for others who want to make a greater contribution to our world.  Please click on contact us to get involved.

Recognizing that we do not need to re-invent the wheel and after doing extensive research to find the most effective organization that best reflects our values (see
Missionwe have chosen to fight poverty by giving our support to some of the world’s leading humanitarian aid organizations.

MICRO LOANS LIFT FAMILIES OUT OF POVERTY

Half the world's citizens (three billion people) struggle to live

on less than $2 a day. This affects their nutrition, health, and

their ability to send their children to school. It also affects the

social and political stability of our planet. Women, many raising

children alone, make up 70 percent of the world’s poorest. 

 

         You can change that.

By supporting The Greater Contribution's  Village Banking

Campaign, you can makea difference in another person's life

and be part of something larger and more powerful:

the global movement to end poverty.

You can immediately provide 20-30 impoverished women with

their first loans and the opportunity to lift themselves and their

families out of poverty by sponsoring a Village Bank.

For a $50. donation, you can help a woman createa micro business

that will allow her to lift herself, her children and her family out of

poverty.  Go to donate to help now!

 

For a $5,000 contribution, you or your group or organization can

sponsor a Village Bank. Your donation can immediately give

20-40 families an opportunity to escape poverty. Your

donation sponsors a new Village Bank, providing first loans to

borrowers who can experience—for the first time—the opportunity

to lift themselves and their families out of poverty. For more
