If we spay and neuter 4,800 cats per year, we will see a decline in the number of homeless cats by roughly 10% each year in our community - and more importantly, we will see a decrease in the number of cats and kittens euthanized at public shelters!

A solid education beginning in the early years is the key ingredient for improved status for women, which provides a ripple of positive effects throughout society. Through this project, you can fund girls' scholarships in Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, Sri Lanka or Vietnam. These long-term, holistic scholarships make it possible for a girl, who would otherwise not have access to an education, to attend school through the secondary level. You can fund a one year girl's scholarship for $250 or a ten year girl's scholarship for $2,500.
