Rain, Water, and Solar Energy for School Children in Lele Village, Nepal
Help bring safe drinking water and solar energy to villages in need in Nepal.
This initiative will seek to offer a long-term and proven benefit of rainwater harvesting to local school children in Lele Village by providing a sustainable alternate source of potable water. A primary goal of this project will be to help mitigate the current shortage of safe drinking water supply in local schools and thus help address the water-related health problems among the children in the village. Upon successful completion of the proposed initiative, efforts will be made to educate and train local teachers and community leaders about benefits of rainwater harvesting and demonstrate to community at large that there is a simple yet better way to meet their water needs and that, with little effort on their part and some outside technical help to start with, their dream for clean water can be materialized. A proper management of the resource they already have in their own backyard together with an innovative application of an age-old affordable technology is all it takes to make it happen.
This project will also seek to harness the environmental benefit of clean solar energy by setting up a small-scale solar panel network at the proposed site (school) to help provide electricity as well as hot water to run a 24-hour Health Post on-site for the students as well as community in the village. This set-up is also expected to generate enough electricity to operate water treatment units besides providing electric light to classrooms as well as powering the solar water pumps for distribution of clean rainwater to various parts of the school. This effort will seek to demonstrate how advanced technology can be applied to overcome the local constraints and help solve the rural problems at grass root level.
Our goal is to raise $30,000 for this project. We have already raised $15,000 and would need to raise the rest to complete the project by 2010.

Micro Lending Project
Small business loans at 0% to help people start up businesses in developing countries.
As of now we exclusively work in the country of Nepal. We give between $75-$300 to help start a small-scale business for women in Nepal. This can range from a Sewing machine
to be purchased or tea equipment to sell tea on the road. These loans are given to create jobs in much needed areas. The money received from Global Reach International to the person receiving the loan, will be paid back to the organization through time. The money then will be used again to help another person start a business. This project is meant to empower women to start their own businesses. We are looking to raise $15,000 for small loans in 2010.
Once your donation is received we will send you a package of where your money is going
to help. Global Reach International matches all donations. If a donation is received for
$50 we will double it to $100. The money we get from the sale of our items will be used
to help in this cause.
