“To whom much is given, much is expected…”
Marjory Sheba strongly attests to the stewardship of giving. She believes that together we can all make a difference by doing our share in helping the needy of the world, be it with our time, talent or treasure. She urges all to find and adopt a cause or charity to give to. She states, “When we give to help change the lives of others, in reality, it’s our own lives we are saving.” Below are some of the organizations Marjory Sheba gives her support to and endorses.
Africare
A leader among private, charitable U.S. organizations assisting Africa, Africare is also the oldest and largest African-American-led organization in the field. Africare places communities at the center of development — in the belief that only through strong communities can Africa feed itself, develop and manage its natural resources, provide adequate education and vocational training, address people’s needs for health care and disease prevention, achieve economic well-being and live in peace.
Africare’s programs address needs in three principal areas:
Health and HIV/AIDS
Food security and agriculture
Emergency response
Africare now reaches families and communities in some 25 countries in every major region of Sub-Saharan Africa, from Senegal to South Africa and from Chad to Mozambique. Since its founding in 1970, Africare has delivered more than $710 million in assistance — over 2,000 projects — to 3 6 countries Africa-wide. To learn more, visit: www.AfriCare.org
Longchamp Charities
Longchamp charities is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping disadvantaged children and families transform their lives and their communities through the power of sustainable independent initiatives, practical compassion, and honor. They save lives every day of the children in Haiti, by operating feeding programs, simple healthcare programs, and operating safe-haven homes.
Caring House Project Foundation
Caring House Project was founded in 1998 by real-estate maverick and best-selling author Frank Mckinney and his wife Nilsa. Their primary objective is to provide housing, food, water, medical support, and opportunity for the desperately homeless around the world, particularly in the Caribbean, South America, Indonesia, and here in the United States of America.
Caring House Project Foundation is currently working to establish villages consisting of 50 double-unit homes each, for families left homeless by the recent floods in Cabaret and Gonaives, Haiti. These 50 homes will provide shelter for 400 men, women, and children.
The homes will include a front porch, a small kitchenette, and the homeowners will also have an individual sanitation unit and shower closet. A community center with a built-in clinic will be constructed as well. The building will be used for providing health care, skills, and vocational training, along with community meetings and prayer. 50 individual cisterns will be constructed, each with a capacity to hold 450 gallons of water, a catchment system will also be constructed.
