Clinics IV Life

We'd like to give a shoutout to FINN Partners and Gil Bashe for a very meaningful donation to our charity. In a world of competing interests all demanding attention, raising funds to improve the lot of disadvantaged expectant mothers can be challenging and at times, impossible. Without contributions from companies that share our vision of a better world, we'd be nowhere. Thank you!

Want to help us illuminate the way the way for the elderly and vulnerable? We have an access road running behind our clinic project in Ligao in the Philippines. The road is steep, muddy and littered with potholes. It washes out with the monsoon rain so is particularly treacherous right now, particularly so at night, and as it borders on the rice fields, cobras and other snakes pose a real risk. We'd like to help the community, in particular the aged who don't have cell phone light, to steer them home safely. Solar street lights costs around 2000 Filipino pesos (around USD $37) per light. We'd like to install four of these to guide the women and elderly home safely in the evening. We're looking for around $200 in donations to realize this. Anyone who'd like to chip in can do so by following the link below and placing ILLUMINATE in the donation comments box through the Clinics IV Life site. Your donation is fully tax deductible and we appreciate every cent donated. While this project is not directly related to Clinics IV Life it is for the benefit of the communities we serve. We'll keep the post updated with donations as we receive them. If you don't want to be credited, please let us know on the donation form. https://lnkd.in/gap3EFRb
