Outreach Opportunities

As we continue to make connections with our content standards to the real world, consider how your classroom can make an impact in our own Littleton community and/or beyond by donating to a micro-fund or buying a chicken for a family through Read to Feed programs. How can technology connect areas of need to areas looking for places to give back? Here are a few.


Kiva Microfunds is a 501 non-profit organization that allows people to lend money via the Internet to low-income entrepreneurs and students in over 80 countries. Kiva's mission is “to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty.” Dreams are universal, opportunities are not.

Heifer
We empower families to turn hunger and poverty into hope and prosperity – but our approach is more than just giving them a handout. Heifer Read to Feed links communities and helps bring sustainable agriculture and commerce to areas with a long history of poverty. Buy a chicken or other animal for a family. Our animals provide partners with both food and reliable income, as agricultural products such as milk, eggs, and honey that can be traded or sold at market.
