Photos from our latest development grant

Posted Thursday, March 19th, 2009 by Noelle

We recently donated computers to Asha Handicrafts Association in Mumbai, India, through World of Good Development Organization, our sister non-profit. As we all know, computer education is a necessity in today’s age of information and technology, but computer classes in Mumbai are expensive, so many children there can’t afford them. Luckily, Asha’s E-Academy Project provides free computer education to their artisans’ children, so these new computers will help them give even more children the education they need.

In addition to computer classes, E-Academy Project also serves as a recreational facility where the students learn to speak English, are exposed to awareness campaigns and have a healthy environment in which they can learn and grow. The program has helped its students secure jobs, as well as choose careers for them to have a brighter future. They’re definitely working to build a World of Good!

Looking trashy has never been more trendy! Crafted from the colorful plastic bags that litter the streets of New Delhi, these totes are a result of a unique non-toxic process that melts the bags together to create a durable material. Not only do they provide a sustainable living for the poor women behind them but they also do more than their fair share for the environment.

And today being green can save you some serious green as well. The bag is 50% off and includes free shipping when you buy it on eBay’s Daily Deal.
