Micro loas To Start a Business

To succeed in business, you must start with something. Sheer will does not give an aspiring businessperson money to buy supplies. People living in extreme poverty - especially women - are not able to borrow from banks, and local money lenders charge exorbitant interest rates, making repayment nearly impossible. Global Peace Foundation ,World Concern provides that spark of hope, in the form of a small business loan, that is often the first step up out of poverty. Global Peace Foundation have seen how people seize the opportunities loans provide. Global Peace Foundation have seen the will to succeed flourish with the help of a microloan. When you make a dollar a day, it's difficult to bear to pay six dollars to ride into town dozens of miles away just to visit a bank. That's the situation men and women in Kenya face in some of the rural communities where Global Peace Foundation work. Because it's not feasible to bank in town, people hide money in their homes. With that comes the risk of losing it in a fire or being robbed.To meet the unique needs of these remote villages, World Concern helps rural communities in Kenya form village banks. We - and the customers - are pleased with how they work.

Fighting Hunger and Poverty

Following a disaster, World Concern is there Global Peace Foundation , providing medical supplies, shelter, clean drinking water and food. Emergency food distribution has saved lives and reduced suffering in places like Haiti, following the January 2010 earthquake, and during the Sri Lanka flooding in early 2011. In Sudan, food is a necessity for survival for the more than 5 million people who were homeless at the end of 2010, having fled their homes during the Darfur war. World Concern is providing food for those who are beginning to return to their villages. Schools are given food so students receive a meal each day, and girls in grades 3 through 8 receive dry rations to take home as an incentive for more girls to attend school. Global peace Foundation ,Teaching people to grow their own food for consumption and income is a step toward lifting themselves out of poverty permanently. World Concern teaches farming techniques, and provides equipment and seeds, giving people the tools they need to succeed. In Chad, refugees share land, equipment and harvested crops with their neighbors, so the entire community benefits. Sharing a horse cart, for example, enables farmers to haul their crops in larger quantities to market to be sold. In Kenya, World Concern helps schools establish gardens so students are eating a more balanced diet than the protein and carbohydrates they receive for a mid-day meal. Each school receives drip irrigation kits, farm tools, seeds, fruit tree seedling, fencing material and fertilizer. Children are learning gardening, farming and nutrition through their involvement with the gardens. The skills and information they’ve learned will be carried on to the next generation.

Educating People Worldwide

Global Peace Foundation extreme poverty and illiteracy go hand-in-hand. That’s why World Concern is committed to making it possible for people of all ages to receive an education in some of the poorest villages in the world. Global Peace Foundation World Concern offers a variety of educational programs, from traditional schooling to lessons about health, disease prevention, farming and personal safety. Children and their parents in the villages of Southeast Asia are often unaware of dangers of child trafficking. Sadly, sex tourism primarily targets children between the ages of 12 and 17 years of age. The poor and uneducated children are most at risk of becoming tangled in a filthy web of illegal, underage sex. Their captors make promises to the children's families, and the children disappear for months, even years at a time

Helping Children in Need

Children are the hope for the future of Global Peace Foundation. That’s why so much of World Concern’s work is focused on their survival, well-being and growth.

In the countries Global Peace foundation serve, children are challenged by civil war, malnutrition, illiteracy, trafficking, HIV/AIDS and a lack of hope for the future

Most of the children Global Peace Foundation serve suffer from intestinal parasites as well as malnutrition, which makes them more susceptible to disease, skin and intestinal disorders, and disabilities affecting learning and growth.

That’s why World Concern provides millions of school children worldwide with de-worming medications and vitamins, which improves their health, strength, learning capacity and ability to resist disease.

 The coastal city of Petit-Goâve, Haiti, community volunteers teach 15- to17-year-olds how to breed and sell goats.

Goats are a valuable commodity in Haiti, where the average per capita income is less than a dollar per day. Not only do goats provide milk—which can be sold—but the sale of a goat’s offspring can net its owner the equivalent of four month’s income.

How to Donate Art

              

People who donate art to museums don't always realize the hopes and dreams they have for their donations. The most common complaint from donors is that museums don't show their donations, but rather assign them to various storage facilities where they sit and gather dust. A less common but more serious complaint is that the museums sometimes sell donated art in order to raise funds. These problems arise in almost all cases because donors don't understand how museums operate and how they treat donated art (or any other donations, for that matter).

When a museum accepts donated art, that art becomes part of what is referred to as the museum's "permanent collection." Most donors assume that the permanent collection is made up of all the art in a museum, including donations, and that every piece of that art remains in the collection for all time. This is not the case. The permanent collection exists as a continually changing and evolving body of art, but individual pieces in that collection remain there only as long as they're relevant to the collection as a whole.

Museum curators are quick to point out that, unless otherwise stated, when a museum accepts a work of art for donation, that museum believes the art is beneficial to its permanent collection and intends to keep it in the collection for all time. Curators also point out, however, that they're not infallible. Tastes change, museum staffs change, the content and direction of collections change, museums acquire works of art that are better than similar examples that they currently own, some art turns out to be not as important as curators first thought it was, and so on. A few museums, such as the National Gallery of Art, keep all donations and never deaccess, but the majority of museums reserve the right to sell or otherwise deaccess art that no longer serves any purpose in their collections. Even so, the substantial majority of today's donations are never sold and remain permanently within their permanent collections.

As for exhibiting donated art, curators do their best to accept art that they believe will eventually be exhibited, but here again, they're not infallible. Deciding which works of art will one day go on display often involves speculation and judgment calls. For example, a museum may accept or even purchase a painting by a promising young artist thinking that it will eventually hang in the permanent collection, but that artist's career may fizzle, and they may fade into permanent obscurity (along with their art). Not only will that art probably never get shown, but chances are also excellent that it will eventually be sold. Other reasons for not showing art are that museums have limited display space, curatorial changes impact what museums show, exhibition schedules are put together years in advance, some art has more research value than display value, and some art may be great, but out of fashion and not what the museum thinks the public wants to see at the moment.

For all you potential donors out there, understanding the fate of your donations before you donate is your responsibility. Never assume anything; donation policies vary from institution to institution. When meeting with curators, ask direct questions, tell them why you want to donate, make all special requests before you donate, and most importantly, keep your ego in check.
