100 Friends
100 Friends operates a wide and diverse range of projects, including the following examples:
- 12 children who formerly lived and worked in a garbage dump in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, are sponsored while they live at a residential care facility.
- Every year, the project provides the funds for essential surgical procedures for six to twelve children in Third World countries including Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Indonesia.
- The 100 Friends Project aims to provide funding for construction of schools in Third World countries. The first school in Ghazni, Afghanistan, is nearing completion.
- 100 Friends provides a salary and budget for a young man in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, who then seeks out unaccompanied elderly people in poor areas and slums and provides food, medicine, clothing and other essentials. Currently the caseload consists of 12 elderly recipients.
- 100 Friends travels to countries affected by wars and natural disasters and provides emergency assistance to families. For example, we provided microloans in Pakistan for families recovering from the 2005 earthquake. Small livelihood grants were provided to approximately 400 tsunami survivors in Thailand, Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
- In partnership with the NGO War Child, 100 Friends provided $10,000 for street children in Southern Iraq. This money was used for counselling, outreach materials, food, medicine, shelter, clothing, books, school supplies and other services including livelihood grants for 200 families. Several thousand children have benefitted from this grant.
- 100 Friends provided mosquito nets for 360 families in Kompot Province, Cambodia, where malaria kills thousands of people each year.
- 100 Friends actively seeks out the people who are not receiving any kind of assistance from any other sources and provides them with the means to improve their circumstances. Whether this consists of a one-off financial donation to pay for medicines, food or living expenses or a ongoing program of educational sponsorshicomputers, clothing and training programs.
- The ultimate aim of 100 Friends is to find the people whose need is the greatest and to provide them with immediate, direct assistance, with no strings, no red tape and no middle men.
- At home, Marc Gold, the founder of the 100 Friends Project, travels to schools around the USA to speak to the children about his work. He establishes 'sister school' programs with schools in the Third World so that the children can exchange letters and learn about each others' countries. They also take part in fundraising activities to benefit the children in their sister schools.
