Mobilize A Village

Problem
Having the resources to implement long-term projects or services is the engine of sustainable development. Many leaders have the ability to provide services, however, if they are unable to physically reach their neighbors, their dedication and services are useless. Throughout the developing world, many villages are in remote areas of the country and some communities spread over many kilometers, making communication and sharing of resources almost impossible.
The Gift
With a gift of $1,000, Operation USA can purchase bicycles, a moped, or a donkey with a saddle that will enable a community leader and/or service provider to reach villagers living far from the village center and provide services to a wider population. Often, grassroots organizations can raise money for services, yet rarely do they receive funding for transportation needs. Operation USA believes that in order to help leaders achieve their potential and provide services to as many people as possible, they need a reliable method of transportation.
