My 100 Percent
Our mission is to relieve poverty in developing nations by providing the necessities of life, including food, clean water, clothing, education and/or shelter to children and families who are underprivileged.
Projects We Support
We currently support three programs in South Asia.
Our largest program is the Stay-in-School Nepal education support program for school girls in remote Eastern Nepal in partnership with a Nepalese NGO. This program was initiated in late 2017 for the new school year. We currently sponsor 100 girls whose families would not otherwise be able to afford the local school expenses such as school uniforms, supplies and books. The support commitment is for 5 years to allow the girls to reach grade 10 and the standard country wide aptitude testing. We have reduced the expected drop-out rates by 80% and increased the likelihood of children graduating high school.
A second program in this community is a Bike Loan program where we buy and loan bicycles to needy students who have a long commute to school. In exchange the student is required to maintain the bicycle, improve their attendance and grades. Currently we have 187 bicycles on loan and have discussed with the Municipality about doubling the Loan program with their support to 360 bicycles.
We are also a supporter of the Jhamtse Gatsal Children’s Community located in Arunachal Pradesh, India. This Community supports almost 100 children in the Monpa region of North Eastern India.
