Adventure Project Corp

OUR MISSION IS TO "ADD VENTURE" CAPITAL TO END EXTREME POVERTY BY SUPPORTING ENTREPRENEURS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES TO CREATE JOBS AND BUILD LOCAL CAPACITY TO SOLVE SOME OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST PROBLEMS AFFECTING THE ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH, HUNGER, AND WATER.

WATER: OVER ONE-THIRD OF ALL WELLS DRILLED IN THE LAST TWENTY YEARS ARE NOW BROKEEN-- 50,000 ARE CURRENTLY BROKEN IN AFRICA ALONE. WE ARE WORKING WITH WATER FOR PEOPLE TO TRAIN LOCAL WELL MECHANICS TO FIX AND MAINTAIN WELLS IN UGANDA, AS WELL AS BUILD PIPELINES TO FAMILIES' HOMES. MECHANICS, WATER OPERATORS, AND CARETAKERS EARN INCOME FROM THEIR COMMUNITIES. TO DATE, WE HAVE REHABILITATED 71 WELLS AND CONSTRUCTED ONE PIPED WATER SYSTEM, AND TWO TAP STANDS IN KAMWENGE DISTRICT IN UGANDA, BRINGING CLEAN WATER TO OVER 893,351 PEOPLE AND CREATING JOBS FOR 317 WELL MECHANICS, CARETAKERS, WELL CHAIRPERSONS, WATER OPERATORS, AND WATER ENTREPRENEURS.

HUNGER: 80% OF THE POOR SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA WORK AS RURAL FARMERS. EACH NIGHT, 75% OF THEIR CHILDREN GO HUNGRY BECAUSE THEY STRUGGLE TO GROW ENOUGH TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES. WE EQUIP FARMERS WITH IRRIGATION PUMPS AND DROUGHT-RESISTANT SEEDS. 12-15 MILLION FARMERS IN AFRICA WOULD BENEFIT FROM IRRIGATION. ONE IRRIGATION PUMP IN KENYA CAN LIFT A FARMER AND HIS FAMILY OUT OF POVERTY AND INTO THE MIDDLE CLASS IN AS LITTLE AS ONE HARVEST. IN MALAWI, FARMERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH ALL THE TOOLS AND SKILLS NEEDED TO MOVE TO CLIMATE-RESISTANT CROPS THAT SURVIVE LONG DROUGHTS. ON AVERAGE, EACH FARMER GROWS ENOUGH TO SELL PRODUCE TO 50 COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND EARNS ENOUGH TO SEND ONE CHILD TO SCHOOL FOR THE FIRST TIME. TO DATE, WE HAVE HIRED AND SUPPORTED 1,005 FARMERS IN KENYA AND MALAWI, FEEDING 74,150 PEOPLE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.

HEALTH: EVERY MINUTE, SIX CHILDREN DIE IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO BASIC MEDICINES???TREATMENTS THAT COSTS LESS THAN A CUP OF COFFEE. WE TRAIN LOCAL LEADERS TO BECOME COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS SO THEY CAN EARN A LIVING SELLING OVER 60 PRODUCTS AT AFFORDABLE PRICES. EACH PERSON CARES FOR APPROXIMATELY 800 PEOPLE IN THEIR COMMUNITY, GIVING SPECIAL ATTENTION TO PREGNANT MOTHERS AND YOUNG CHILDREN. HEALTH CARE WORKERS HAVE REDUCED CHILD MORTALITY BY 25% IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. TO DATE, WE HAVE TRAINED 439 COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS IN KENYA, TOGO, AND UGANDA, PROVIDING CARE FOR 365,098 PEOPLE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.
