Inspiring change: a donor's journey living on $2 of food per day to spark action and transform lives

We're thrilled to share an inspiring story of a donor igniting change in a bold new way.

Since our founding, we’ve focused on multiplying your generosity to transform lives.

In the 90s, we explored small businesses in India but found our stride in agricultural enterprises, where local teams turned seeds into miracles of abundance.

This idea—planting a seed to yield exponential growth—perfectly reflects how your donations multiply impact.

Now, our board member David Jetter is embodying this by launching a “poverty simulation” to spark action.

For 14 days, he’s living on just $2 of food daily to raise awareness of extreme poverty and inspire 100 new orphan sponsors.

Yes, over 100 orphans are awaiting sponsorship right now!

By taking small steps—like sponsoring one child—you join a ripple effect that grows our impact exponentially.

Our Founder and Director, Kirby Trapolino, has done these challenges and seen their power.

His “30 days on $30” challenges in 2019 and 2024 inspired 43 donors whose recurring gifts have now raised $36,341.

The human trafficking crisis can feel overwhelming—where do we even start?

We start together, with what we have, working tirelessly and growing our reach.

Every contribution counts, fueled by three unstoppable forces:

1. Togetherness—your gifts combined with others.
2. Consistency—monthly giving for lasting change.
3. Sustainability—farmlands multiplying resources.

The ultimate multiplier? When donors like David become advocates, rallying others to our cause.

Support David’s mission by liking his LinkedIn post here or joining as one of his 100 orphan sponsors.

As our favorite African proverb says: “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.”

Together, sowing seeds of generosity, we’ll change the world.

Thank you for being the heart of our mission—we couldn’t do this without you.
