"I have decided that giving to small charitable projects which I think worthwhile and is run by people I know to be sincere. It is better than just writing a check to big organisations."

Community Building

In many of the communities that Goducate works in, there is an atmosphere of helplessness and hopelessness. In some communities, there is a lack of trust between people of different religions or cultures (tribes).

We have found that by starting a project for example a literacy or learning center, a new sense of confidence and hope infects the community. This is true especially when the community is involved in helping to start the project eg. when they are involved in building the literacy center.

Goducate tries to involve the community in its projects. For example, even if the mothers are not able to be trained to be teachers, they are enlisted as volunteer assistant teachers. This not only gives them a new sense of confidence but also serves to unite the community as people of various religions and cultures work together in our projects.
