Thank you for supporting Helps International (HINT) in 2008

by Leave a Comment

On behalf of all of us at Helps International (HINT) Cameroon (https://www.hintonline.org) I would like to take this opportunity to say ‘Thank You’ for generously supporting our work in 2008. Without you, we would not have accomplished as much as we did and we thought it would be good to let you know that we value your contributions to the work we are doing.

We are currently working on our 2008 annual report and as soon as it is ready, we will share it with you.

We look forward to your continuous support in 2009 even as the world’s economy is experiencing an economic depression. We believe that together we can still make a huge difference.

We wish you a very prosperous New Year 2009 and pray that all goes well with you, including everyone and everything related to you.

Sincerely,
–

FFF 2008 raised US$ 1,830

Our lone annual fundraiser called Food For Funds (FFF) raised US$1,830 during the months of October/November 2008.

We wish to express our heart-felt gratitude to all our donors all of whom are US citizens who still gave despite the hash economic crisis that the USA and the entire worked is going through.

In keeping with our principle of transparency, we are grateful for the following donors:

  • Brian and Christe Dodds, Texas
  • John & Elizabeth Batton, Texas
  • Stuart Nice, California
  • Pastor Beverly Freeman, Texas
  • More names soon

US$ 1,830 will provide business training, HIV information/training and loans to about 18 deserving and hardworking women who are entrepreneurs. This effort will indirectly improve the lives of about 130 people, given the large average family size in Cameroon.

Donations are still being accepted. If you want to donate by check, online or other means, please follow this link: http://www.www.hintonline.org/category/how-you-can-help. Thank you.

HINT in partnership with EWB-UK to provide clean water supply

by Leave a Comment

HINT is currently working with Engineers Without Borders (EWB), UK on a project dubbed “Enabling Safe Watter Supply”. The project aims to make use of the Ndongo stream in Buea to provide clean drinking water to the population of Buea and its environs.

The Research Proposal is now being advertised on EWB-UK’s websites. A group of engineering students in the UK will travel to Buea to carry out further research and to determine the best technology that can be designed to solve the problem.

Details about the Research Proposal and EWB-UK can be found here: http://www.ewb-uk.org/HINT

HINT is now a certified ICIP partner with INVENEO, USA

by Leave a Comment

Inveneo is a non-profit social enterprise whose mission is to get the tools of ICT into the hands of organizations and people who need them most: those in remote and rural communities in the developing world.

To do this, Inveneo creates and sells highly affordable and sustainable ICTs that are specifically designed for organizations — governments, NGOs, private enterprises — that serve these rural communities with vital services that include education, healthcare, economic development, relief and telecenters. Our ICTs are designed to overcome challenges that these organizations face:

  • Lack of dependable, if any, electricity
  • Extremely high cost of power
  • Prevalence of heat, dust, moisture and humidity, often punishing conditions for ICTs
  • Lack of affordable access to Internet and telephony services
  • Novice users and administrators

This partnership follows HINT’s participation in Inveneo’s workshop in Cameroon in November 2007.

Becoming a certified ICIP means we can sell and install Inveneo equipment.
