Let's Leverage to Help the Poor and the Needy!

Dear Frens,

My day started like this:

10am - class

Things to do today - organise the pick up of 31 sets of computers and monitors for distribution to the needy given by Informatics Campus.

11am - Transport by volunteer still not confirmed for pick up today at 4pm

12pm - Transport still not confirmed but volunteer trying his best. Pray.

3pm - Call from volunteer's friend to pick up computers on his behalf with a van instead of his lorry. Trouble... Van is not large enough to transport all the computers. Problem!

3.05pm - Rack my brain whilst having a late lunch after class. Remembered a friend who runs an ambulance service. Try, call for help!

3.30pm - one van and two ambulances race to pick up 31 computers and 2 lap tops.

5pm - work done

10 computers arrives for local sg families
10 computers goes off to start of a new day care centre
11computers on its way to JB orphanage and homes
2 laptops sent to stat a computer class in kupang Indonesia ( need 8 more!)

Moral of the story:
Be who you are
Be where you are
Be available when you can
And this would make a world of difference to the those in need!

Many thanks to all who have come so generously and willingly to help the poor. Special thanks to informatics for the computers, medic network for taking time out to rescue computers for the poor, also to Chris Bek, Samuel, Eric and all his helpers.

God Bless,
Mill

Our Message

We have a simple vision of creating a tidal wave of kindness from a ripple of effort given by busy individuals.

We are a network of friends standing in solidarity to provide support and assistance to the poor.

A little effort by each person can change the life of someone in need positively for a lifetime.

Our mission at Project Kyrie is to support humanitarian relief efforts of NGOs and individuals to make a small difference in the lives of others by facilitating funds and resources to organisations and persons of most need.

Who.We.Are

Project Kyrie

Believes that everyone can make a difference in the lives of others so long as we do whatever little we can. It may just be a quick phone call or an introduction amidst busy schedules.

We believe that there are many kind-hearted individuals who would like to help those less privileged but are too busy with their work and their families to be able to locate where the poor and needy are.

Our mission is to connect the givers to the beneficiaries. We hunt down worthy causes and projects to help the poor and the needy rise out of their difficult situations by enhancing their lives with resources and offering them opportunities to help themselves.

Leverage
We have a network of about 500 friends from all stations in life and of all race and religion. We present the needs of the poor to our network of like-minded friends. Our friends will then communicate these needs to their like-minded friends. We leverage on the strength of our personal and work contacts to help others in need.

In this way, our effort is multiplied exponentially to achieve good for those who have little with very little effort and time from us.

If everyone helps a little, we can achieve much for the poor and the powerless.

Apart from humanitarian aid, we strive to create opportunities for hardworking individuals to break from their cycle of poverty.

Our core objective is to teach people how to fish, through education and acquiring of new skills. We believe that poverty need not be the price, paid by a child. If he or she has the potential to become a contributing and productive member of society, we aim to give this child or individual, the opportunities and tools required to succeed.

When they do succeed, the whole family is helped. They will be pulled out of the vicious cycle of poverty in which they might have been in for generations.

Our Approach
Simple ABC approach to Project Kyrie's type of assistance philosophy :

A : Assisting with Humanitarian aid
B : Building a good foundation through education and skills training
C : Creating opportunities through jobs and small business schemes

Why Project Kyrie?
Project Kyrie literally means the Lord’s Project. We believe fearlessly that if it is His Will for a project to be done, it will be done.

ALL GLORY with no exceptions belong only to GOD our Father! \O/\O/\O/
