Our Finances

100% of all donations go to support the operation of the library
and individual projects.  Since the start of 2008 volunteer fees
have helped fund the rent of the library building and some of its
activities.  Please see disclaimer

projects undertaken by the Foundation in health and children's
programs:

We've had great successes in each
endeavor, from library services to summer
camps, from health operatives to art projects,
from tutoring to soccer camps.  And our
volunteer program has been the most
successful by far thanks to the quality and
commitment of those involved.








The challenge is now to move from
diagnostics and piloting projects to a
sustainable operational scheme. The future
and success of the organization will now
depend on its ability to attract donors for
operations, capital investments and
programs.  We hope that the demonstrated
commitment to service will be the best
argument in favor of the organization's
mission and potential.
