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

THE BUS OF HOPE TO MEXICO
SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR ORPHANAGE
This fall, The Greater Contribution will partner with The Rainbow World Fund of San Franciso to collect donated school and medical supplies for 55 orphans (abandoned or abused children) of the Hogar Infantil of Mexico.
All supplies will be loaded into The Bus of Hope, a decommissioned school bus and driven to the orphanage, clinic and school in Mexico.
We are organizing for this event NOW. If you or a group you belong to, would like to get involved, please contact: Karon Wright at 805-493-2434 or Karon@greatercontribution.org.
