Few people/businesses are able to give to many different charities and so, we must chose which charities are our "favorites."
Vic (our founder/owner) would like to share with you his favorite charities:
The Red Cross (www.redcross.org) - most people recognize the Red Cross as one of the finest organizations helping mankind throughout the world. We hope that
you will join us and give the Red Cross as much financial help as you can.
Doctors Without Borders (www.doctorswithoutborders.org) - is one of the finest organizations that helps the poor throughout the world. We have chosen them
as one of our primary charities as well.
Shriners Hospitals for Children (www.shrinershq.org) - is also a very fine organization (April 2008 we received their four-star Gold Book Society award). Thanks to our used "Toilet Tank Lids for Charity Project"
the Shriners Hospital for Children, and other charities listed here are now receiving a combined total of at least $5,000. per month from us.
Kiva.org - our founder Vic (see who he has helped at: http://www.kiva.org/lender/plumbingsupply) is now loaning moneys to others less fortunate than himself and hopes that you will too.
Big Brothers Big Sisters (www.bbbs.org) is a wonderful organization that helps kids that need role models and adult "friends".
El Porvenir (www.elporvenir.org) - few people have heard of this small organization. They help bring fresh water and sanitation to rural Nicaraguan villages.
Since in our business we make our profit from selling plumbing related products, as of October 2001 we have chosen El Porvenir as an organization
that we will give some of our profits to.
El Porvenir means "the future". Born during the United Nations International Drinking Water Decade, El Porvenir began as an off-shoot of Habitat for Humanity´s self-help housing projects in Nicaragua.
El Porvenir's principal goal is to make it possible for poor people in Nicaragua to improve their standard of living and health through sustainable self-help water, sanitation and reforestation projects.
Currently they are helping in up to five regions of Nicarague, and doing about 75 projects a year, with water and sanitation.
El Porvenir's projects have the following objectives:
to support community self- determination and local responsibility for the projects
to increase the technical skill level of rural people
to lessen the physical burden on women and children
to improve the health of poor people, especially the children
to preserve the watersheds on which the water projects depend.
Nicaraguan made well pump
Our Founder believes strongly that El Porvenir is a great charity worth giving to. We hope that you will consider them as well.
"When you consider the contributions that plumbing and sanitation make to the quality of all of our lives,
then much of the other things that we do just seem so much less significant."
- Vic (our Founder) 1995
