Every One Dollar CampaignWhat can one dollar really buy you these days? Thanks to Abake’s Foundation a dollar is all it takes to feed a starving family. Millions of children in Africa are without food, without homes, and often, without hope. They are born into a world of conflict and instability, robbed of any opportunity for a future because of stifling economic conditions. In May we distributed rice to impoverished families in Benin, obtained micro-loans for working mothers, and met with government officials to improve cooperation. Now we need your help to continue our efforts. One dollar will go a long way, but only if enough people donate. Everyone who has a dollar to give can become part of this historical campaign. Talk to your family, friends, and coworkers. Talk to your local community. Email or post links to the Abake’s Foundation website. Tell everyone, because we need “every one” to turn the page on poverty in Africa. One dollar can’t get you much these days. But you can still buy a priceless gift for the people of Benin: hope. |
