Help Companies Create Internal Programs• Back-to-school drives for orphans/foster kids
• When a child is removed from home, they get one garbage bag to bring items with them. Supplies, clothing, and even diapers are huge needs retail can meet for the foster system.
• Leveraging supply chain and overstocks to help provide needs for orphanages/foster kids• Seek out children’s homes in the US, your home country, where you
operate – donate your overstocks to help with their needs.• Leverage your supply chain in North America, Europe, Asia,
Latin/South America to distribute goods to kids in need.

Help Companies Create Internal Programs• Work with suppliers in China/India to support orphan
related causes locally• Over half the world’s orphans live in the countries that supply retail
the vast majority of our outsourced manufacturing and IT services.• Get involved locally – ask what the needs are
• There are tremendous needs right here in the US in orphan care, children’s homes and foster homes. Simply search for the terms “children’s home”, “foster care”, “Childrens Services”.
• Leverage your organization’s core competencies• Building materials – construction for children’s homes. Clothing,
school/office supplies, books, children’s toys, logistics, computers, S/W.
• Brainstorm how your company can get involved.

Support “feet on street” charities• Our goal is to provide grants to charities where the
real work is being done• Focus on small, entrepreneurial charities• Life skills training, micro-businesses • Hand ups, not just hand outs – provide hope via resources/training. • Where grants of $10,000-$40,000 can double or triple the work, not
just cover admin or advertising costs• Give 90% + away every year – get the money working
• Bring the “World is Flat” mentality to Orphan Care• Lowering the cost, broadening the global reach

charities (building supplies, school, clothes)
