Joy of Movement Humanist Centre

I started this blog to connect to you and to share my experiences of giving and receiving in the world. My strongest experience yet has been wakening up the human spirit in Africa and creating projects that became programs of non-violence, non-discrimination and for human rights that are becoming self-sustained, thus the human being becomes free of dependence.

Humanist Agriculture Project in Congo tip jar

Papy Ngoie, humanist volunteer, organized hundreds of people in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire), to volunteer in an agriculture project.

They are growing onions and other produce. The humanist families consume some of the produce and then sell the rest in the local market. The money thus raised is then used for fertilizer.

They struggle to maintain the project due to lack of initial fertilizer as well as lack of irrigation system. Yields are currently too low to sustain fertilizer for future harvests.

The money raised in this campaign will provide that initial fertilizer that will allow yields to be high enough to then self-sustain. An irrigation system would allow the same number of people to cultivate more land and thus feed more people.

This dropcash effort is to raise $500 for fertilizer and $1000 to begin to build an irrigation system.

We are a US federal tax exempt organization.
