Help Us Reach Our $100,000 Goal in Raising Money for Fonkoze and Grameen Guatemala
Our goal is to raise $100,000 dollars, of which 100% will support Fonkoze and Grameen Guatemala, Whole Planet Foundation's microfinance partners in Haiti and Guatemala, who desperately need support to rebuild and improve services since the recent earthquake in Haiti and massive mudslides in Guatemala. Fonkoze and Grameen are the largest microfinance institutions in Haiti and Guatemala and target the poorest of the poor.
Help Us Reach Our Weekly Goal of $1,000
In total we have raised $4,770 thus far.
100% of these donations will support Fonkoze or Grameen Guatemala
