In 2004 there is, specially via the Asia Action Ameland, collected a lot, in 2005 many promises are realized and in 2006 it will be accomplished.


In which way we like to work on:

- execute small scale ‘grass-root’ level projects in Asia and Africa
- project-execution only through direct contacts and reliable partners
- trying to reach a maximum level of self-sufficiency in the project villages
- working with the largest possible transparency, efficiency and effectiveness
- focussing on consciousness of the need of poverty-reduction
- free enrolment on basis of advertising by word of mouth
- keeping contact with the media, specific towards actions and projects
- work without staff expenditures, 100% non profit, through volunteers only
- rewards only within the execution-costs of 5-9% of the projects on the spot
- execution-costs in the Netherlands maximum 1%


Via this unique way of working, we invite you to keep supporting us. We thank all sponsors for your donations, on behalf of the children, women and underprivileged in Asia and Africa.
