Almost there! Matching funds for solidarity with the people of Mali and Project Muso
Posted on Apr 22, 2011
A post from Joia Mukherjee, PIH's Chief Medical Officer.
Today, I was in touch with Ari Johnson, the founder of Project Muso in Mali, which I wrote about on April 15. While this wonderful, grassroots organization is doing tremendous work in building community, delivering of health care and supporting the public sector in Yirimadjo, Muso is facing challenges faced caused by an abrupt loss of a key funder.
Because of our collective advocacy for this important grassroots project and solidarity approach a generous, anonymous donor offered a $30,000 match if $30,000 dollars can be raised before May 13. I am happy to report that, with your support, Project Muso has raised $26,000 toward this match.
But…we aren’t there yet. Please pass the word to your friends, like minded people, to all those who believe justice and dignity will come by working alongside the poor to achieve human rights. That Project Muso, a young, small organization is doing phenomenal work in achieving this greater humanity. Any amount goes a long way for this group.
Tax -deductable donations can be made through the website at http://www.projectmuso.org/donate or by sending a check or money order out to "Under the Baobab Tree" and mailing it to:
Under the Baobab Tree
1380 Monroe Street, NW Box 309
Washington, DC 20010
Thank you for considering this urgent appeal on behalf of our friends and family at Project Muso.
In solidarity and with gratitude,
Joia
