The Neighbour Giving Circle

Impact one life at a time through consistent giving.

 

By pooling resources together in a giving community, the Neighbour Giving Circle supports socially-excluded and at-risk youth in poor, dangerous communities via social change projects. These social change projects are intended to:

• Create adult education programs for dropouts

• Create employment opportunities through small businesses

• Transform defeatist mindsets through value orientation and training 

• Re-integrate street children and at-risk youth through affordable housing projects

 

Ultimately, the Neighbour Giving Circle aims to integrate vulnerable persons on the fringes of our society through a variety of interactive programs:

 

• Helping Hands to Hungry Mouths                                                                                        

Provides meals to young children in poor communities. These meals are packaged and delivered by youth from our other programs who engage in this project as volunteers in order to give back to their communities.

 

• The Lifesaver Initiative                                                                                                             

This initiative provides access to basic healthcare training and services as well as insurance programs. The program is supported through corporate donations and partnerships with healthcare organisations.

 

• Operation Habitat                                                                                                    

This program provides families with young children and teenagers with access to safe and affordable housing.

 

What is a Giving Circle?

A giving circle is a group of donors who are willing to make consistent financial commitment over a long period or even past a lifetime to the giving circle. Members of the circle can also make a commitment of their time and/or expertise. Giving circles allow donors to leverage their assets by pooling their contributions to achieve a greater impact. Democratically arranged (through committees or board members), giving circles provide donors equal voice in deciding where their contributions go. In the process, donors connect with one another and with their community.
