Pride Charity the foundation for a new generation of
friendship around the world!
Hi! My name is Sayge and
I am President and co-Founder of Pride Charity. Pride
Charity was started by Freeman Middle School students
who wanted to raise money to help poor kids in
developing countries. Because of our rural background we
have chosen to make our impact through Heifer
International, which provides families with food animals
to raise and sell.
Our goals are to:
- Promote
self-sufficiency by providing other kids with food
animals to eat, sell and “pass along” to others in
their community;
- Learn how to help
fight world poverty and hunger (organizing, fund
raising, and accounting);
- Raise $5,000 before
we graduate from high school; -we have raised $2,000
by 6th grade!! We are doing this by raising money in
our community selling crafts and by direct
donations.
Most of us are
rural kids with agricultural backgrounds. Many of us
raise and show food animals. We believe that providing
food animals and fruit crop trees to poor families is
one of the best ways to empower and change their lives,
both nutritionally and economically.
We are student led and
run, and donate 100% of the money we raise
to Heifer. Heifer International has won several awards
and has an excellent rating by the Better Business
Bureau for their charitable work.
You can help us help
others by purchasing crafts we sell at the Freeman Store
or through a direct donation to
our Heifer page. All donations are tax deductible.
