Nourish International滋養國際
Nourish is a student movement to eradicate global poverty. During the school year, undergraduate students organize as Nourish Chapters where they raise money through small businesses called "Ventures." Using the money they've earned, they select a sustainable development project to fund. Over the summer, they travel abroad to work alongside members of the community to implement the project.
Example Venture: Hunger Lunch
The most successful ongoing Venture is Hunger Lunch, where students can pay $4 for an enjoyable and healthy meal of cornbread, rice, and beans with all profits invested in poverty eradication.
Projects
Nourish Chapters invest the money they earn in sustainable development projects with a specific, measurable outcome. To conduct these projects, Nourish Chapters work with a local partner organization that has the demonstrated support of the local community. Each summer, Nourish students travel abroad to work alongside members of the community to implement the project.
Example Projects
During the summer of 2010, a team from the University of Pennsylvania Nourish chapter worked with The National Community of Women Living with HIV/AIDS (NACWOLA) in Kampala, Uganda. The students trained ten women with HIV/AIDS how to make paper and set up a sustainable papermaking business. The project goals were to not only help these women increase their family income but also spread this sustainable economic impact by training hundreds of local women in papermaking techniques.
The Ohio State University chapter sent a team during the summer of 2010 to Cerro Blanco, Peru to construct a potable water pipeline with the local community. With their partner organization, MOCHE Inc., students worked alongside locals to deliver clean water to a community that had been without a clean water source for 20 years. OSU students also collaborated with UNC Nourish students in implementing a community health fair for surrounding pueblos.
Communitie
In our world today, 1.1 billion people lack access to clean water, 925 million are malnourished, and it is estimated that 22,000 children die each day due to poverty. This is global poverty.
Nourish International addresses this problem by working with the communities that make up the statistics. Many of these communities are highly entrepreneurial, possessing sustainable solutions to the problems they face. What they lack, however, are the resources to solve those problems.
Our Approach
The key to eradicating poverty is empowering community leaders who have sustainable, scalable solutions. Nourish partners with communities who lack the necessary funds and resources for development projects, but who have the entrepreneurial vision to eradicate poverty. Our role is not to act as a project manager, but as a catalyst to help accelerate change.
•Recruit – Chapter leaders recruit student members by raising awareness about Nourish International's mission on campus. Once they have built a core membership, they can recruit additional members through their Ventures, which help generate interest.
•Ventures – "Ventures" are small businesses run by students on campus during the academic year. These Ventures serve the dual purpose of generating funds for projects as well as raising awareness and building Chapter membership. At the end of the year, the students invest the money raised by the Ventures in sustainable development projects abroad.
•Proposal – Community organizations and leaders identify a need within their community to be addressed. They submit a proposal for funding and student volunteers to implement their project. These proposals, once accepted, are put in our online database for public viewing.
•Selection – Projects are selected based on their ability to demonstrate community support, long-term sustainability and potential for impact. An initial criteria is applied by Nourish's National Office and final decisions are made by individual Chapters, giving students real-life experience with project selection.
•Implementation – Student teams travel to each of the project sites to work alongside the communities in the project's implementation. This gives students on-the-ground experience with the social entrepreneurs within these communities. It also ensures that project funds are allocated appropriately.
•Follow-up – After the project has been implemented, Nourish keeps in contact with partners to ensure the success and long-term sustainability of the project. This helps us maintain strong relationships with our community partners and often leads to future partnerships
滋養是一個學生的運動,以消除全球貧困。在本學年,本科學生組織,他們作為滋養章小企業籌集資金,通過所謂的“風險投資公司。”用這些錢他們已經賺,他們選擇一個可持續發展項目提供資金。今年夏天,他們出國旅行的成員一起工作的社會執行該項目。
例如將風險:飢餓午餐
目前最成功的創業飢餓的午餐,在這裡,學生可以支付4元一個愉快,健康膳食的玉米麵包,大米和豆類的所有利潤投資於消除貧窮。
項目
章滋養他們賺取的金錢投資在可持續發展項目,具體,可衡量的結果。為了進行這些項目,滋養章工作與當地合作夥伴組織,已經證明支持當地社區。每年夏天,滋養學生出國工作的社區成員一起實施該項目。
示例項目
在2010年夏天,一隊來自美國賓夕法尼亞大學滋養章曾與全國社區女性的生活與艾滋病毒/艾滋病(NACWOLA)在烏干達首都坎帕拉。十位女性學生培養與艾滋病毒/艾滋病如何使紙張和建立一個可持續的造紙企業。該項目目標是幫助這些婦女不僅增加家庭收入,而且還會波及這個可持續經濟影響培訓數百名當地婦女在造紙技術。
俄亥俄州立大學章派出一個小組在2010年夏天,塞羅布蘭科,秘魯興建食水管道與當地社區。與伴侶組織,MOCHE公司,學生當地人一起工作,提供清潔水,以社區裡一直沒有乾淨的水源為 20年。俄勒岡州立大學的學生還與聯合國軍司令部滋養學生在實施社區衛生公平的周邊城鎮村莊。
社團的
在當今世界,11億人無法獲得乾淨的水,九點二五億頃營養不良,估計有22,000名兒童死於因貧困而每一天。這是全球性的貧困。
滋養國際解決這個問題由工作與社區構成的統計數據。這些社區的許多企業家的高度,具有可持續發展的辦法來解決他們的臉。他們缺少什麼,但是,資源解決這些問題。
我們的方法
消除貧困的關鍵,是誰賦予社區領袖擁有可持續的,可擴展的解決方案。誰滋養與社區的合作夥伴缺乏必要的資金和資源用於發展項目,但誰具有創業理想,以消除貧困。我們的角色是不是作為一個項目經理,但作為一種催化劑,以幫助加速變革。
•招聘 - 第招收的學生成員領導人通過提高認識關於滋養國際的使命在校園裡。一旦他們建立了一個核心成員,他們可以招募更多的成員通過其企業,這將有助於產生興趣。
•風險投資公司 - “風險投資”的小企業由學生在校園內學年。這些合資企業服務的雙重目的,籌集資金的項目,以及提高認識和建立會員章。截至年底,學生投入更多的資金由經營企業在可持續發展項目在國外。
