48 bananas for 48 kids

$2.40
Enough bananas for each Care Centre kid to have one.

​KOCC's fruit purchases support small farmers, and banana sellers in particular are typically those with a few banana trees and few options for income other than walking around looking for buyers. We avoid big wholesalers and make sure to purchase from the small sellers in the Care Centre's neighborhood.

$.05 each x 48 = $2.40

48 Avocados for 48 kids

$3.84
Enough avocados for each Care Centre kid to have one each. They're healthy, ripe, and they sure seem like a bargain if you're from a cold climate!

​KOCC's fruit purchases support small farmers.  $.08 each x 48 = $3.84

Micro-grant to launch a youth small business

$200.00
We offer small business training to small groups of needy youth, and this training is limited in part by our budget for micro-grants that help launch new business ventures. Help us bring a few more young people into small business training by funding seed capital for one small business.

Replace a full latrine with a new one

$42.00
Some of the older guardians we support do not have family members to dig a new hole for a pit latrine. Create a week of work for two people and improve sanitation and dignity for a whole family by donating to pay local laborers for digging a 20 foot latrine hole.
