Your 5-Step Self-Help Plan

Your care for Ubed, which started 13 years ago through a Self-Help Group, was lifechanging…

…not only for Ubed, who started his own business and can now provide for his family.

…but also for everyone around him!

You see, Ubed is now a champion in his community.

He’s a member of the local disabled persons’ group, and fights for the inclusion of people with disabilities. He seeks out others in his community who have leprosy, and goes with them for their treatment.

He meets with local government to make sure people with disabilities in his community have the specialised support they need... all thanks to kind people like you standing with Ubed throughout his journey.

And you can bring this lifelong care to others just like Ubed when you become a Self-Help Grower today.

MATCH MY GIFT 5:1 NOW

Here's how your gift will be put to work:

	1.  You sow kindness As a Self-Help Grower, you care for the most vulnerable. People with leprosy like Ubed. People with other disabilities or diseases. Your $116 gift can help set-up a Self-Help Group.
	2.  Your support sprouts Thanks to your kindness, those you care for meet together to learn and support each other. From caring for their wounds to learning about small business, you’re there, every step of the way. Your $105 gift can teach members about good health practices.
	3.  Your love grows With your continued support, the group registers with the local government. Like Ubed experienced, this status changes community attitudes and builds respect. Your $22 gift can register one Self-Help Group.
	4.  Your care blossoms Because you’re there, people like Ubed now have the skills and confidence they need to start a small business. Plus, they can take out a loan to get started. As your loan is paid back, it’s lent out again – so your kindness keeps on giving!  Your $550 gift provides the start-up funds for savings and loans.
	5.  You revive so many lives! Thanks to your love and compassion, group members now have a reliable income to support their family. They’re respected in their community. They bring others to the group, so your kindness continues to grow. Your incredible gift of $4,801 can support one Self-Help Group for a whole year!
