Eat So They Can

YOU ARE INVITED TO HOST A DINNER PARTY FOR A GREAT CAUSE ON OCTOBER 15-16TH 2011!

1. Eat a meal
2. Invite your friends
3. Change lives

Eat So They Can is an international fundraiser that invites citizens of the world to participate in what is collectively one huge dinner party; where something as simple as sharing a meal with friends can help stop poverty. The aim of Eat So They Can is to raise funds and awareness for our partner projects in Africa, Asia and the Americas. The idea behind the campaign is that we believe that helping others should be fun and achievable. We believe that it’s possible to celebrate what you have and help others at the same time.

So please SIGN-UP as an ESTC host and join the movement which is changing lives - one meal at a time!

The funds raised through Eat So They Can will go towards supporting women and children around the world. Here are some examples of the ways our 2010 funds are changing lives:

• The Real Uganda was able to provide funds to its partner project in Mpoma to start a goat project and help the Johnson Nkosi Memorial School to become self-sustainable.
• In Peru we are establishing a women’s empowerment program at the Huchuy Yachaq community center, near Cusco, Peru.
• In Vietnam, we are providing monthly educational and nutritional support to orphanages in Tam Ky, Da Nang and Tuy Hoa.

Last year, we raised $179,000 for our projects. We’re extremely proud of our hosts and ambassadors! This year, our goal is $200,000. We hope that you will help us reach this amount by signing up to be an Eat So They Can host.
