Day 5: The Ladybug Project
The Ladybug Project was started in 2010 by a personal friend of mine from college, and it has really gotten some steam in the short while since it was established. They are currently supporting education and healthcare efforts in Equatorial Guinea and Madagascar. According to their website, they have been undertaking "innovative education and healthcare projects in [Equatorial Guinea and Madagascar], by connecting over 200 volunteers, with an impact on 2,000 people in Africa."
Their Mission: From the website, "The Ladybug Project Inc. aims to connect donations to initiatives in Equatorial Guinea and Madagascar. These projects aim to help foster educational and health infrastructure in target countries." They are currently providing school supplies to 5 educational facilities, and they are now launching a health care initiative in 2 communities, and they are hoping to have these fully operational by 2014.
What you can do: Why, donate, of course! Their website also offers a very helpful resource for those who would like to raise funds or volunteer/intern for the Ladybug project. They are also in need of any educational and/or healthcare supplies that you can offer them.
