1 Open Arms India Well Project In many, many villages throughout all of India, the people have only filthy, bacteria-laden pond water for their drinking, cooking, bathing. This water is all that is available, so the people have no choice but to use it. We want to provide them with something better, something health and life – giving: fresh, clean well water. Only as funds are available can we provide additional villages with wells so that a thousand or more people can have clean, good water daily from each one. Currently, we are installing wells in Bihar, north India, one of India’s poorest and most backward states. FUNDED -PROJECT COMPLETED-	Amount to fund: $500 100% Complete Admin costs: $35 100% Complete

6 GHEI Deworming and Sandals Project Worms mainly affect the well-being of young children. Because worms contribute to anemia, which is a leading cause of death among people in these areas, de-worming is a simple and effective method in which to increase the chances of survival for young children. By removing one possible cause of a child’s deteriorated health, it gives them a better chance of surviving the other possible causes of death, such as malaria, malnutrition, etc. Children develop worms by walking barefoot in contaminated soils. This project will help by funding the purchase of the de-worming medicine for 500 students and sandals for those without shoes. The sandals will help prevent reinfection. The Ghana Health and Education Initiative has done this before, lets raise the funds to do it again. So cheap, so effective - potentially lifesaving. To learn more, please click on this project.

7 Scholarship for Education Through a partnership with the Uganda Village Project we would provide discrete scholarships to children for Secondary Education. These are in essence ‘full rides’ and would be awarded to promising children who would otherwise be unable to obtain an education. Education can make a huge difference in Uganda, it is the difference in being a poor villager working every day to find food to eat and being able to support your entire family through work you can obtain because of your education. The Uganda Village Project which is well established both here in the states and on the ground in Uganda would primarily be responsible for awarding and administering the scholarship. They would draft the requirements for awarding the scholarship and the requirements for a student to continue to receive the scholarship. They would also provide us with annual reports on all the children involved in the project. The cost is 600 dollars per full ride. Project COMPLETED! NEW - UVP has sent us pictures and video of the scholarship recipient.	Amount to fund: $600 100% Complete Admin costs: $35 100% Complete

19 Orphaned Children Family Supply Project Project Partners: Alpha Childcare Uganda (local NGO – Non Governmental Organization) In Uganda and many African countries malaria, and more commonly AIDS, creates orphans. Often these orphans are very young and yet they become the heads of their households. Can you imagine being responsible for a toddler and school age child when you are in the sixth or seventh grade, not even a teenager yet yourself? These orphans are very resourceful and they make do because they have to. ACCOD is a local NGO making an effort to help these children and one way in which they do so is by supplying some basic needs such as blankets, water jugs, and cooking pots. These are cheap by our standards, but are much too expensive for these orphans to consider purchasing. This project, each time we fund it, would supply 10 families with these basic supplies. It would be administered by ACCOD in Uganda. PROJECT COMPLETED	Amount to fund: $500 100% Complete Admin costs: $35 100% Complete
20 Blackboards and Desks for Education The schools are making do with very poor blackboards that they use every day, as paper is not readily available and is much more precious than it is here in the states. These blackboards need to be replaced and it is a need the Uganda Village Project has identified during their groundwork with the schools. However, they have not had the time, energy, or money to invest in this project. They have also identified a shortage of desks in many of these village schools. Imagine having to share one of those small desks we all used in elementary school with several other children, taking turns to work on the desk instead of the floor. Awaiting completion of project. Update - The UVP summer team has performed a needs assessment and surveyed about 29 schools, interviewed them and researched costs. It looks as though 15-20 three seater desks will be built for one school from the funds donated so far. UVP is currently exploring exact costs and we are working with them to consider placing this need on CAN again in hopes of funding some more desks. Headmasters Message of Thanks PROJECT COMPLETED - Pictures are being e-mailed to us in the next few days.	Amount to fund: $500 100% Complete Admin costs: $35 100% Complete
21 Malaika Microfinance Project Tanzania A microfinance project in rural Tanzania that provides access to small loans for people living in remote areas of western Tanzania. Rural areas are often left without access to many services. Most microfinance programs throughout Africa are centered in urban centers. This project also enables women to pursue their own personal goals and dreams by enabling them to establish their own businesses and better take care of their families. Below is a video provided to us by Malaika of women who have been helped by ChooseAneed's completion of this need. These women have borrowed small amounts of money from the funds we sent and are now operating business and slowly paying the money back which will then be used to create more loans.
