Uplifting Underprivileged Communities
Contribute towards Uplifting Generations from Poverty – Zahi and Friends
We, Zahi and Friends, have partnered with ECHO, a San Francisco Bay area charitable organization to help raise funds to contribute to supporting less privileged individuals in Bangladesh.
ECHO (ECHO - Educational Charitable and Humanitarian
Organization) through different programs including education,
income-generating skills training, healthcare services, improved sanitation,
and support for small-scale entrepreneurial activities, has dedicated itself
toward serving the underprivileged. One of the biggest advantages of ECHO’s
programs is the discretization of efforts to modular tasks, which can be easily
monitored by the donors to evaluate how their contributions are making impacts in
different preferred areas.
ECHO has generously agreed to provide a matching to every dollar we can raise through our “Uplifting Underprivileged Communities” initiative. |
The following are list of areas where you can contribute, along with donation amount. Every dollar contribution will be amplified by ECHO’s matching fund. Please mention your desired areas of contribution in notes, when contributing (such as stipends for 3 students for $300 or sponsor a senior citizen $1000).
