Ever Dream Of Being A Star?

Everybody says they'd like to be a star, but few people ever do anything about it. Like Marlon Brando in ON THE WATER FRONT, they make the sad claim 'I couldda been a contender. I couldda been somebody' be use of innovative and cutting edge but it just never worked out.

Not so with the people at The Voices of Africa Foundation.  They recognized an opportunity to 'empower impoverished women and youth to improve their communities sustainably through the use of innovative and cutting edge information and communication technology and fair trade income generation.' Voices of Africa endeavors to bring foreign expertise to local knowledge to improve quality of life through improved healthcare and education. The foundation doesn't just build buildings and walk away. A broader approach is utilized for sustainable development.

Voices of Africa runs a halfway house for young homeless men ages 8-18, providing housing, food, clothing and education to break the cycle of poverty.

Partnerships with SchoolAid UK will build 10 school libraries in Tanzania, 5 in Kigamboni, and 5 in Mwanza. The TabLab Project will bring solar power and educational tablets to schools in Tanzania.

Voices of Africa Foundation also provides pro bono consulting services to small organizations working for the good of women, children, youth, and the handicapped in East Africa.

A lot of work to fill a lot of gaps. Definitely a constellation of stars!

You, too, can be a star with Karatbars.

Karatbars offers a special 1g card in support of Voices of Africa Foundation. The price of the card is approximately 71 euros of which approximately 10 euros goes to the foundation.

It's a win-win. You save with gold and help a worthy cause.

Be a star with Karatbars.

Gold holds.
