Host an Alternative Gift Market
Holiday season is right around the corner and that is a great time to host a gathering of friends to support non-profit organizations by allowing people to buy "gifts" that raise money to benefit organizations like Plant With Purpose. We are a part of an organization called Alternative Gifts International that helps us raise money through individuals and groups hosting Alternative Gift Markets. You can host your own with the tools and guide that AGI supplies. Click here for more information.

Business Skills & Loan Management Training
An important part of what we do is help community members set up community banks and teach them proper loan management. Under this model, community members invest all the capital required for lending, giving ownership to the local people to choose what businesses to invest in. more
Donate to this.Animal Husbandry
Owning an animal can mean the world to a family in need. Animals are necessary for work, food, pest control, and companionship. Your donation will purchase sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, or cows and oxen for a family, based on their need. Your generous donation also covers the cost of animal training to improve the breed. more
Donate to this.Keeping a Family Together
Harsh economic and environmental conditions in poor countries force the rural poor to migrate to cities or even to other countries to find employment, breaking up families. Plant With Purpose helps keep families together by working to rehabilitate the land and create income-generating activities that help keep families intact. more
Donate to this.Bible Study Training & Materials
For many people, faith is what gives us hope in difficult times. Especially for the poor, churches and faith are an important network of support socially, economically and spiritually. Religious affiliation or involvement is never a prerequisite for Plant With Purpose programs, but it is part of our... more
Donate to this.Cistern
Donating a cistern provides a year round water supply to farmers so that they can produce crops in the dry season, increasing their income. Enabling farmers to produce year round reduces migration, helping families stay together and strengthening communities. Cisterns also save women and children fr... more
Donate to this.Clean Water
Clean, readily available water can have a dramatic impact on the lives of the rural poor. Access to clean water women and children do not have to walk a long ways to get water and can spend their time on school or starting a business. Cleaner water and sanitary latrines mean a reduced risk of dise... more
Donate to this.Preventative Health

Donate to this.Microcredit Loans
Most of the rural poor are dependent on only two sources of income: agriculture and fuel wood. One bad harvest or drought can lock farmers into a self-perpetuating cycle of debt. Microcredit helps farmers start businesses that aren't agriculturally-based so that they can reduce their dependence on... more
Donate to this.Ecological Latrine
Ecological latrines reduce ground water contamination, keeping streams clean. Cleaner water means less risk of water-born disease and disease spread by latrine pests, improving the health of a village. They take what would otherwise be hazardous waste and transform it into a valuable agricultural input... more
Donate to this.Reforestation
The poorest farmers get the worst land to farm, which usually means steep hillsides that are vulnerable to erosion. Planting trees controls erosion and improves soil fertility, which leads to increased crop productivity and income. Trees also improve water and air quality, reducing disease. ... more
Donate to this.women's empowerment
Numerous studies have shown that investing in women's education and development goes farther and accomplishes more than an equal investment in men. Evidence from micro-credit lending, for example, indicates that women have superior repayment rates, invest more productively, and... more
