FIRST THINGS FOUNDATION INC
Generating momentum for the poor by assisting local visionaries in their quest for a better life. First Things Foundation places hard working social entrepreneurs in impoverished communities serving the poorest of the poor. Our entrepreneurs work 24/7 creating local, long term, sustainable entrepreneurial projects. We create jobs and opportunities where they previously did not exist. We listen to the people, collaborate with local business and non-profits, learn their local dialect, immerse ourselves in their culture and live among them in the most modest of circumstances — mud huts, footpaths, bucket baths, candlelight reading, and the occasional intestinal parasite. As a result our projects lift people out of their poverty permanently rather than merely ameliorating their suffering for a short time. Success for FTF is when we leave the community, permanently.

As a volunteer, I love how Eduo.org empowers people to contribute locally. It feels like Wikipedia for good deeds — written by the people, for the people.

I work in a nonprofit and listing our organization on Eduo.org helped us reach new audiences and even new volunteers. It’s easy to use and feels built with love.

I stumbled on Eduo by accident and ended up spending hours learning about different charities across the world. It’s like a global map of goodness

What I appreciate most about Eduo is its neutrality and inclusivity. It doesn't push any agenda — just provides tools for people to explore and support what matters to them.
