What Would $10 do for You?

By scott, October 20, 2009

The inspiration behind our cause, Elias, has been suffering through a tragedy of life these recent years. From his son’s horrific knife attack to his wife’s illness to the loss of his gardening job, Elias is in a precarious life situation. As the namesake of this organization it is necessary to come to his aid and we have a terrific opportunity to do so right now.

Which brings us to the question at hand, what would $10 do for you?

  • A night at the movies
  • An album on iTunes
  • A cheap dinner for two

The point is, your $10 could quickly disappear into the chasm of the market without even causing a ripple on the surface. Yet what can that same $10 do for Elias, his family and the community of Chiredzi?

  • A house for Elias and his family
  • The launch of an urban micro-agriculture program
  • The empowerment of self-sustaining food production and income generating activity

Your $10 has the potential to effect change in the development of an entire Zimbabwean community.

It’s simple grassroots mobilization. You donate $10. Then invite 10 of your friends to join you. Our goal is not impossible. A preliminary proposal from our Zimbabwean partners puts the cost right under $10,000 to buy, build and launch this extraordinary project. So what would $10 do for you? We know what $10 can do for Elias and his community. He’s the inspiration of a song, the heartbeat of our cause. Come help us demonstrate the lasting impact of $10. You can make your quick and secure donation here.

Run4Zimbabwe: ‘Malin to Mizen’

By admin, June 23, 2009

From the southerly cliffs of Mizen Head to the northerly shores of Malin Head, EF’s longboarding friends have reached the top of Ireland! After twelve days and 385 miles, Alex, Ralf, Alfred and Peter have completed what the locals call the ‘Malin to Mizen approach.’ Well done lads!!

They received much interest from people along the way. Even had a “few nice cyclers from Scotland” donate to their tour!

We are going to try to get Alex on the phone to recap the tour. It will be great to hear about their creative advocacy and crazy adventure. So be on the look out for that! Thanks to all of you who followed their journey and expressed so much support.
