The numbers

Applying some leverage (promise to make an appeal to our community of support for round two, we were able to expedite, on a emergency basis, funding for round one, which has now been wired to our friends in India.  We explicitly request you simply give what you can, even $10.  $108 or more is fantastic.  Stop is one of the high integrity organizations working in India and beyond to STOP human trafficking.  Your gift here is unlikely to be leveraged anywhere else for as much impact.  Once we fund Round Two, this opportunity will be gone.  Please participate in this critical moment.  Thank you!

Note that Ford Foundation has committed to fund line three, the 150 family dry ration packets, but we only know that is in place through round one.  So Round Two may be approximately $30,000, or it may be the $44,178 plus wire fees.  

Here is a link to the letter that came from from STOP's new Executive Director, Janki, should you wish to review depth information around this funding request.
Be well!  Be safe!  And please consider making a difference in this world with a modest donation   —   Ben Lipman, President of Solstice Institute
