Current Campaign

If you have children of any age, you will understand how computers and the Internet has become an integral part of learning and working. We see it with our daughters, Dayna 13 and Deanna 7 everyday. Deanna now in grade two can navigate through the Internet and do her homework online. Students at Zorat are being left behind because they have no access to such resources. We would like to provide some help in getting them there. But first, they must have electrical power. We have committed to raising $20,000 to help them electrify the school. We have also found used computers loaded with free educational tools for the students.

Here is How we have decided to go about it

We need to raise $20,000
We broke it down to small chunks of reasonable donations for people to consider as individuals or as a group.
We came up with 300 donations each at $66.67
Thus far we have received an average of 135 donations of $66.67
Amount raised $9000.00
We still need 165 donations

Please use the donate button on this page and help us get there.

Recently, a family donated $365.00 to Zorat.org. This is the third time this family has done it. We are so grateful for their continued support. Thank you very much. When ever we visit them around Halloween, they gave us their donation on a brown bag. They save $1/day for the year just for zorat. $1/day seems very small and easy to do but it goes a long way for our cause.

We hope there will be more people who can do the same as this family.

In three years, we have done several projects for the school. We have achieved our goal of having all students a chair and a desk, we have provided funding for uniforms for kids that are Orphaned and we have bought 570 books! Now the Tigrai government has promised us that they will electrify the school.

Our effort will now focus on finding computers loaded with free educational software that can be used by the students. We are looking at logisitics of how many and when we will begin to collect computers. We look forward to your continued support.
