What kind of world do you want to have?You can make a difference.Imagine.

Page 2: Ppt0000035nonprofitsintroduction

People have basic needs.People need food.

People need clean water.

People need shelter.

People need clothing.

People need medical care.People need education.

Clean air too!

Page 3: Ppt0000035nonprofitsintroduction

There are many of reasons for this:

Natural Disasters War

AccidentsPoverty

Prejudice

Bad Government

Bad Economy

Loss of Job

Sometimes people don’thave these needs.

Page 4: Ppt0000035nonprofitsintroduction

People can’t live happy healthy lives without these basic needs.

There are many charitable organizations around the world that work to provide people with what

they need to live happy healthy lives.

We can help the world by supporting these organizations.

They may suffer.

Imagine

What would it be like if you couldn’t read?

You couldn’t enjoy a good book.

You couldn’t read instructions.

As an adult, you couldn’t find a good job.

You couldn’t read to your children.

What if you didn’t have a school where you could learn?

What if you went to school and they spoke a different language that you didn’t understand?

Page 7: Ppt0000035nonprofitsintroduction

EducationGoing to a good school and having the opportunity to learn probably seems

normal to you.

But many people in the world are not as fortunate as we are.

In some regions of Ghana, even fewer people can read!

Page 8: Ppt0000035nonprofitsintroduction

Education

School enrollment is below 40%, and dropout and grade repeat rates are very high.

The Mamprusi live in one of the most deprived areas of Ghana. The Mamprusi have one of the lowest literacy rates in Ghana.

The literacy rate in in English below 5%. The literacy rate in the Mamprusi language (Mampruli) is below 1%.

Page 9: Ppt0000035nonprofitsintroduction

EducationPambe Ghana

Pambe Ghana provides excellent, culturally appropriate primary education for children in northern Ghana.

Instruction is in English and their “mother-tongue” language—Mampruli.

Page 10: Ppt0000035nonprofitsintroduction

EducationPambe Ghana

“The weak foundation of the early school years places children of poor rural families at a serious disadvantage. Many drop out; a few struggle on in school but without success. Their educational level is too poor to enable them to find jobs, yet they no longer fit in their communities. This further discourages parents from sending their children to school.”

Page 11: Ppt0000035nonprofitsintroduction

Some considerations:Pambe Ghana is the smallest organization you have to choose from.

It’s just one school, in one part of the world.

Imagine

What would it be like to be sick but not able to see a doctor?

What if you needed medicine but couldn’t get any?

What if you need an operation, but that wasn’t possible?

What if someone in your family was sick but couldn’t get care?

Medical CareDoctors Without Borders

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971.

Today, MSF provides aid in nearly 60 countries to people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe, primarily due to armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, exclusion from health care, or natural disasters.

Page 16: Ppt0000035nonprofitsintroduction

Medical CareDoctors Without Borders

Armed Conflict

In numerous countries, MSF is providing medical care to people caught in war zones.

Page 17: Ppt0000035nonprofitsintroduction

Epidemics

MSF has a long history of responding to epidemic outbreaks of cholera, meningitis, measles, malaria, and other infectious diseases that spread rapidly and can be fatal if not treated.

Malnutrition

In 2009, MSF treated approximately 200,000 severely and moderately malnourished children in a host of countries in Africa and Asia.

Page 19: Ppt0000035nonprofitsintroduction

Medical CareDoctors Without Borders

Natural Disasters

MSF often plays a large role in tending to the wounded and the ill who after natural disasters.

MSF helped when the Kashmir region of Pakistan and India was hit by a devastating earthquake in 2005

or when flooding swamped Mexico in 2007

and when cyclones thrashed Bangladesh in 2007 and Myanmar in 2008.

And MSF helped after the earthquake in Hati in 2010.

Medical CareDoctors Without Borders

Exclusion from Health Care

In many parts of the world, certain groups—like refugees—are prevented from accessing adequate health care simply because of who they are.

Page 21: Ppt0000035nonprofitsintroduction

Medical CareDoctors Without Borders

Here are some more examples of

their work.

Page 27: Ppt0000035nonprofitsintroduction

Medical CareDoctors Without Borders

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is a large organization that helps people in other parts of the world.

Some considerations:

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) provides medical care and procedures, like surgery, to people that would not get that care otherwise.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) responds to disasters but also provides regular healthcare to some people. Sometimes they help with other basic needs like food and clean water.

Imagine

What if a tornado destroyed your home?

What if you had a fire? What if we had a flood?

Or an earthquake? Or a hurricane?

Where would you stay?What would you eat?

What would you wear?

Some considerations:

The American Red Cross is a big organization.

The American Red Cross helps people all around the world but also here at home.

The American Red Cross mainly provides disaster relief, but it does other things too: helps military families, collects blood, provides education for things like CPR.

Imagine

What if you didn’t have any breakfast?

What if you didn’t have any lunch?

What if you weren’t sure if you were going to eat dinner?

What if you went to bed hungry?

Page 46: Ppt0000035nonprofitsintroduction

The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma distributes enough food to feed more than 77,000 hungry Oklahomans each week through 700 charitable feeding programs and elementary schools in Oklahoma.

500,000 Oklahomans will wake up today and wonder where their next meal will come from. Oklahoma ranks as the fifth hungriest state in the nation.

Hunger

The Working PoorSome parents work multiple jobs and skip meals just so they can make sure their children are fed. They have tough decisions to make every day:

whether to fill up the car or put food on the table . . .whether to pay the utilities or put food on the table . . .whether to pay the rent or put food on the table.

All it takes is one illness, one dead car battery or one rent hike and they can no longer take care of their family without help.

Page 49: Ppt0000035nonprofitsintroduction

HungerSeniors

The Regional Food Bank provides help to those many consider the most vulnerable in our state: our senior citizens. Sadly, many have outlived their families, outlived their income, or have simply been forgotten.

When asked how the program helped them this year, seniors responded:

“It helps me from going hungry.”

“It helps a lot since it comes at the end of the month when I am out of food. I appreciate the help.”

“It made the difference between eating every day of the month and having to skip meals, or eating as little as a hot dog for the entire day.”

Page 50: Ppt0000035nonprofitsintroduction

Hunger

Children

“One in four children in Oklahoma is at risk for hunger every day. Unfortunately, for many children, hunger isn't just an occasional missed meal, it is a way of life.

Page 51: Ppt0000035nonprofitsintroduction

Hunger

Children

Children who live with hunger can have many problems. It hurts their development. They are likely to miss school. And it’s hard for them to do well in school.

Hunger

Children

The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma feeds hungry people.

Some considerations:

The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma helps people here in Oklahoma. It does not operate anywhere else.

There are lots of hungry people here in Oklahoma.

Imagine

What if your roof always leaked?

What if there were holes in your walls?

What if your house didn’t keep you warm?

What if your house were falling apart?

What if your plumbing didn’t work?

What if breathing the air in your house was making you sick?
