Nonprofit doesn't necessarily mean good.
And just because a charity does some good things, doesn't mean that they couldn't be doing a better job.

Lots of waste and abuse plague the largest charities. Whether it's laundering a reputation, or moving money to where the IRS can't get their hands on it; many of the big name charities aren't exactly what they seem.

Raising half a billion for Haiti sounds great, and so is building 7 homes for people who lost their in an earthquake, but when you spend half a billion on 7 homes that's not good.

But, small amount of money, given to the right person can make a big difference.
A water pump for Ralph, isn't going to make him a fortune, but it will protect him against a drought that could spoil his entire years crop.
A $350 donation is enough to ensure that his farm is going stay watered no matter what the seasons look like.
If you want to support other entrepreneurs like Ralph, donate to the Uplift Project today.

So charity doesn't have to be corrupt, but you should always double check.

A small amount can make a big difference, if given in the right way.
At the Uplift Project, support communities from the bottom up, giving families the resources they need to thrive on their own.
Access to clean water can come in many ways, and while a well would be ideal, it isn't practical in all scenarios.
Homes are widely spread out, and fixing a water pump requires difficult to find parts and expert knowledge.
Helping someone build up the water collection system that has been proven to work for decades, is a different story.
Giving rainwater collection systems, might not be as clean and advanced as a well, but it work. And a whole family can benefit from only a few hundred dollars.

The first church in Guyana was built by the Dutch in the late 16th century. Though it was not widely introduced to the local population until the 19th century by the English.
Missionary trips to the most remote parts of the country have brought churches to all corners of the Guyana.
Here, Lloyd explains how Christianity first came to his village when Arawak was still the most common language.

The cutlass trick, is a time tested method of finding your way out of the bush. 🇬🇾
Not really.
But maybe there is some wisdom behind the trick that was passed down for generations.

In the remote parts of Guyana, transportation isn't easy.
Private rides are the only way to get around, and even those are near impossible to find if you are not closely acquainted with the area.
The lack of transportation makes things very expensive in the remote areas, and greatly restricts the economic opportunity for the residents in these villages.
We are trying to get children in these remote areas of region 7 used clothing, per request of a local church.
We are accepting all donations of summer clothing for Children ages 3-16. Please contact me if you want to make a donation.

In some of the remote communities in Guyana, well water is not available.
Instead, people rely on rainwater that they collect off their roof, to fill large storage tanks that will allow them to drink the 'clean' water during the dry season.

But as the seasons become less predictable with the changing climate, people are starting to run out of clean water before the rainy season starts again

The Uplift Project is now purchasing people in these remote communities water tanks to store the rain, gutters on their roof and a concrete pad to stand the tank on.
We are building 9 of these tanks, the few remaining families in this village without any rainwater storage, will get a tank.
And the large families with only a small amount of water storage will get another tank.
The tank costs is US $250
The concrete, guttering, freight and labor cost us an additional US$330
All of this is paid for by your generous support to The Uplift Project.
Thank you to everyone who has made this possible.

When a devastating earthquake struck Haiti, The Red Cross received an outpouring of donations, nearly half a billion dollars.

The group has publicly celebrated the work they have done there. But in fact, the Red Cross has repeatedly failed on the ground in Haiti.

Philanthropy as a whole
is very corrupt. Large corporations and wealthy individuals, use donations to avoid taxes and launder their money reputation.

If all the money given with good intent, was used in a productive way; I think the world would look different.

Spending time in nature, growing your own food and living in harmony with the world around you,
gives one a much more comprehensive understanding of the world that one who wears a suit ever day and spends their time indoors.
Ralph, with the lesions he's learned through his rich life: shares many of them in a recent interview he did with the Uplift Project.
If you want to hear what he has to say, you can find it on our YouTube channel, upliftprojectgy.

If lost on a logging road in the jungle, you can look at some of the basic signs to determine the direction to the nearest settlement.
How the trails all sweep in the same direction, if used for logging, means that the logs were pulled this way.
Lumber will always be pulled to the easiest point of exportation, usually a large river or road.
These subtle cues are some of the things you can learn by spending time with people who have spent their life walking this bush, along with the many hidden lessons that can be found in nature.
Evident here, that when observing the destruction and exploitation of this beautiful landscape, it always points in the direction of man.
