'One Home Many Hopes' is a home for abandoned and orphaned street girls in Kenya that was founded by a friend of ours from Boston, Thomas Keown. He saw the need for such a home when he visited Kenya and was shocked by the sight of children foraging through trash piles for food just to stay alive.
Today, One Home Many Hopes is providing shelter and education for 35 young Kenyan street girls. Thirty-five girls who once ate flea-ridden scraps from trash piles, will today have cooked meals. Girls who once slept cold in the mud of Mtwapa's streets, will tonight curl up in clean sheets. Girls who had no hope and no future will spend nine hours in school tomorrow. These 35 girls who were once known to nobody, right now know that they are loved.
One Home Many Hopes was selected as 1 of 2 small non-profits to be filmed raising $20,000 in 30 days for a documentary. They have someone who is willing to match up to $10,000...so their personal goal is to have 1,000 people give $10...the need now, is to find 1,000 people to give $10...by November 23rd!

TheLadyV thinks everyone should give $10, too!
If you want to be self-interested, you can also purchase one of artist Kate Castelli's limited edition prints for $25 - the proceeds from the first 100 sold goes to One Home Many Hopes. http://www.wallblank.com
