Sharing with you the faces of the poverty

The Aged

The Men

The women and children

Dear Frens,

Have you ever looked into the eyes of a person living in poverty?

A man, a woman or a child who is more often than not hungry, using clothes that have hardly been washed and perhaps living in a makeshift tent if the person is fortunate.

When money is zero, hygiene is zero, the necessities we buy for ourselves and take for granted whenever we go to Guardian or Watsons is also zero.

I believe it is most humbling when you look into the eyes of a person in extreme poverty. How can a brother or a sister who live amongst us survive such odds?

I would be humbled knowing how blessed I am. I feel certain, in that moment many of us will realize how insignificant our daily pains and sufferings are when we compare with the person standing in front us who have so little.

Project Kyrie have been so privileged to be able to reach out to some of our fellow brothers and sisters living in such conditions before the close of 2014.

With the support of friends from Project Kyrie , we managed to distribute 250 food packs and blankets to the poor in Gujarat India. Friends who have supported our feed the poor and homeless in India project know who you all are. A very big thank you for your support and making this food and blanket distribution possible :)

The poor we have helped are very thankful and their blessings reach out to you where ever you are as you celebrate the start of 2014.

I would here like to add a word of special thanks to our friend and partner, Mr Paul Raj for at the age of 72 is living everyday, a life of compassion and mercy as Christ would want.

All food and blankets have been personally administered and distribution supervised by him when he visited Gujarat in December 2013.

Anyone who would like to be part of this project , pls do contact me and we will let you know when the next distribution is. If you would like to personally go to India and distribute the food. You are also welcome!

As always All Glory to God \o/\o/\o/

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/
