Hello
I recently got to know a small non-profit that deserves to be more known and grow. They could increase their already strong impact with appropriate funding.
Paper for All is the name, it is a non-profit that provides academic resources to elementary school children in Burkina Faso, Africa. Burkina Faso is indeed one of the most illiterate countries in the world and the children do not apparently even have pens or notebooks to write on. It is a small non-profit but they have managed to distribute over 5,000 notebooks, 4,000 pens and pencils and many boxes of chalk for the professors. They need a sponsor/funds to continue their strong impact. Their website is http://www.paper4all.org. Thanks for telling your friends around you about this organization!
Great non-profit to support and help develop!!

Normally I'd scream "Danger Will Robinson" to a first-time post from someone looking for donations. However, they do appear to be a registered charity in the UK. Since they have only 2,300 pounds income, however, I doubt "strong impact" is the proper characterization. Possibly worthy, but who knows?
They seem to be having some impact, they seem to reach about 2,000 kids. Well it is true that it might be small compared to big charities. How do you know their budget? It is true that it does not look like a big charity, maybe it is worth supporting them to help them grow. I usually prefer small organizations, the big ones, you never know where the money goes, some is lost in overheads. Anyway, both small and big are needed. I just thought this one looked quite interesting. I like their positioning, to held education in a country that seems desperate for more.
