It’s the last Friday of “less of me” month here at NanaHood, and in keeping with that monthly theme, I have more “helping” kinds of links for you today.

There are so many ways to give, in big and small ways.  Below are just a few more “small ways” you might be inspired to help.

I’ve included a little extra info for each link from each of the websites’ ABOUT pages:

• Mocha Club -  an online community of people giving up the cost of 2 mochas a month – or $7 – to fund relief and development projects in Africa. We work in five main project areas: Clean Water, Education, Child Mothers + Women At Risk, Orphan Care + Vulnerable Children, and HIV/AIDS + Healthcare.
• GiveBread.org – Bread for a Hungry World is a non-profit organization with the mission of sharing love by meeting the physical and spiritual needs of hurting people worldwide.  Founded in 1984, Bread began by feeding people starving in Botswana because of drought. Through the vision and energy of one man, Jon Jones, Bread for a Hungry World expanded to serve children in Honduras and fed over 100,000 people stranded in Burmese refugee camps. Jon’s pioneering spirit and work over 18 years is the foundation for the Bread programs today.
• Global Samaritan – Global Samaritan Resources was born on the concept of redistribution of the world’s possessions. Today one billion people or one of six people in our world subsist on less than a dollar a day. Yet in America our resources are enormous and waste is endemic. Could Christians do something about sharing our surplus with the needy abroad? The answer is “yes”.
• Healing Hands International – In 1991, a meeting was held in Nashville, Tennessee, that included several people interested in helping meet the mounting needs for medical supplies and equipment in the former Soviet Union and other Eastern European nations. Dr. Randy Steger, marketing professor at David Lipscomb University, presented a proposal to serve as a pilot program that would utilize the energy and abilities of students to solicit donations of supplies. Through this urgent need for humanitarian relief the students organized the Healing Hands ministry, which was later incorporated as Healing Hands International in 1994.
• Manna Global – In March of 2009, Manna Global Ministries, also known as MGM, began as an expansion of the current work in the Dominican Republic through MannaDR, Manna Haiti (previously Manna International Relief and Development) and Beacon Light Ministries. The projects in Haiti and the Dominican Republic have been long-standing outreach and we are glad to continue the development of these early works. This will also expand into new works in the Dominican Republic, Haiti and other countries. These combined endeavors will give vast new opportunities through missions, discipleship, worldwide relief efforts and simple everyday Christian fellowship.
• Hope for Haiti’s Children – Mission – To demonstrate Christian compassion and create opportunities for poverty bound Haitian children to get an education and become outstanding leaders.
