In The Business of Hope

In The Business of Hope is a charity led by Nelson business people with the backing of the Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce.
Many chamber members were inspired by the address given by the head of the UN Development Programme, Helen Clark at Air Nelson late last year. This response provides a way for local business people to give to the economic development of some of the poorest countries in the world.
Throughout the world many families and communities struggle to make ends meet. One such village is Polesgo, in Burina Faso, ranked 191st place out of 197 countries with over 82% of the population living in poverty. Simple mechanisation will transform their lives, freeing up hours of manual labour for education and other economic opportunities. This fundraising will enable mechanical transformation of cereals, provide energy for the social services and households and enable well water to be piped to households.

We aim to raise $50,000 for Polesgo. Donations in multiples of $100 are sought.

Please give generously. Like the Facebook page and Website to find out how to donate!
