Eddie Vedder was looking for a way to help the people of Africa. When a Seattle group asked him to donate studio time for a South African choir, he took the next step by deciding to record with them. From the money earned from those CD sales (link to Ten Club website for Molo CD), Molo Care was born. Red Sox General Manager, Theo Epstein, was so inspired by the cause and the choir that his Foundation contributed another $50,000. Molo Care providesdirect support to the principals of schools in disadvantaged communities in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. It enables students and parents to learn the skills necessary to earn their own way out of poverty. Molo Care subsidizes job training, higher education, and health care programs serving hundreds of township residents. Our programs are 100% South African solutions to South African problems. |

If you are the kind of person that wants to join forces with people like Eddie Vedder and the Red Sox to become part of a larger cause, read more about Molo Care. If you are distrustful of international aid organizations that spend most donations on their own overhead, keep going. Molo Care is different. Supplying small amounts of capital to local efforts aimed at improving the education, health and welfare of children in Africa has been shown to have comparable results of large programs at one-tenth the cost. Rather than creating dependency, small scale efforts like Molo Care are the most effective at creating long term self sufficiency. |
