On April 26, 2006 Foundation Emanuele Antola
was registered at the Handelsregisteramt (Office
for the Registration of Companies) in Canton Zu-
rich, Switzerland.
Operating structure
As an organization working throughout the world
the foundation benefits from the fact that the

verse background coming from countries like Bra-
zil, India, Italy, and Switzerland.
Project Coordination
The coordination work is managed from Zurich
and New York. Board members advise on the
selection of suitable projects and commit them-
selves at the same time to take responsibility
to overview those projects. Each board member
takes responsibility to verify that the donations
are used for the purpose they were given on the
projects they are assigned to.
Location Switzerland
FEA’s board carefully selected Switzerland as the
location for the administrative head office of the
foundation for its safety and tradition as an interna-

the Burkina Faso Department of Health. Main com-
ponent is the training of village midwives in remote
tribal villages. Educating women in the project area
about maternal health, sexual health, opposing Fe-
male Genital Mutilation, literacy training, training
village health agents. 37 active village midwives

cember 2007.
Request
We are between funding for the project. NORAD
in Norway has a limit of three years. The funding
stops at the end of 2007. We knew this before.
The reason we have waited to apply for further
grants, is that we wanted to wait for the inde-
pendent evaluation that was conducted in Novem-
ber. We have just received the complete report in
French, it’s now being translated. Our program is
a partnership with the Burkina Faso Department of
Health.
Project Mission

to reduce maternal mortality and infant mortality,
to combat female genital mutilation, to educate
women and communities about health, focus on
maternal and sexual health, to create leadership
models for women.

AMURTEL Primary Health Clinic AKWAKWAA
Project Description
The AMURTEL Primary Health Clinic at Ak-
wakwaa is located in Ghana’s Central Re-
gion. It serves about about 200 patients a
month, with primary health care. It also has
maternit ward and does 5 to 10 deliveries
per month. The clinic trains health workers
from nearby communities to work in local
clinics.
Request
This is a request for 1,500 USD to install a water
tank, and pipes to provide running water to the Ak-
wakwaa Clinic, in Ghana. The amount of $1,000 has
been secured and given to the clinic. It was enough
to purchase the water tank and install it but not for
the rest of the installation. Therefore at the moment
the clinic has water but needs another 500 USD
to complete the installations so as to have running
water inside the building.
Project Mission
To provide primary health care, maternal health
care and health education for aspiring health work-
ers to the communities in the project area.
Project History
AMURTEL had a small clinic in Akwakwaa f03 five
years, before finally constructing it’s own building
in 2005 on a land outside of town In 2007 a sec-
ond building with ward space for 20 patients and
a pharmacy was completed.
Update
The water tank has been installed in June 2008 with
funds from the Foundation. Thanks to all those who
contributed to the success of this “Micro-donation”
project.

Mafi-Zongo Water Project AMURT Ghana
Project Description
The project provides safe piped water to a popula-
tion of 9,000 to 23 communities through a pipeline
network that is 48 kilometers long. It is located in
remote villages in North Tongu Distric, Volta region.
The project harvests surface water in a small dam
built on a seasonal river. The water is treated by
slow sand filtration. The water is the pumped to a
reservoir on the top of a mountain, from where the
water flows by gravity to the communities.
Request
We seek US $1,000 to make pipeline markers for
the pvc pipeline. We need more than 300 markers,
US $1,000 will give 116 markers. We will install
them on the pipeline through communal labor. The
pipe line markers are cast in concrete with iron bars.
They are 3 feet high and 7 x 7 inches square. They
will be painted blue to be very visible. Let me know
if you need the details of the manufacturing cost.
Project Mission
To assist the communities in the area to get safe
water through a sutainable community owned and
community managed project.
Project History
AMURT was first invited to the North Tongu Dis-
trict in 1990 to help fight guinea worm. By 1993
AMURT stared working on the Mafi-Dekpoe water
project.(this project is a partnership with Danida, it
was completed in 1998). In 1994 we were invited
to Mafi-Zongo to assist a group of communities
there. The dam was constructed in 1994. The wa-
ter treatment plant finished in 2001, the water tow-
er was completed in 2003. With funding from Italy,
the project opened in 2005 for 10 communities,
and was expanded to 23 communities in 2006.
Update
A Microdonation has been approved in April 2009.

ANANDA VIIRATA in Bissiri, Burkina Faso
Project Description
Our center is situated just at the edge of the ar-
tificial lake of Bissiri, deep in the country side of
Burkina Faso, 45 kilometers south of the capital,
Ouagadougou.
The region is extremely poor, with high rate of un-
employment, dirt roads, no electricity, bore holes
as a source of water, mud brick huts as shelter and
more than 80% people illiterate. People tradition-
ally make their living by growing their own food and
rearing cattle for the most fortunate.
We have 4 hectares of land divided in two plots
and 3 buildings. The main structure is a dormitory
style building, another big store room houses our
cereal bank, and a two room building has become
a small clinic. The land was given by the commu-
nity who expect us to assist in their development
by creating employment and helping them satisfy
their basic necessities of life.
Request
This is our wish to improve the center by getting a
water tower to fit on our bore hole. This is a basic
need for our tree nursery, clinic and processing
facility for Moringa production.
Total needed :1000 USD
Project History
The Bissiri Community Center was started in the
early 1990’s, after Dada Rudreshvaranandaji flew
over the village on the way to Ouagadougou.
What he saw from the air was a large water
source, and lots of underutilized land. Once on
the ground, he found the village and discovered
that there was a high rate of unemployment and
felt the peoples’ determined will to fulfill their
most basic needs. Since its genesis, the center
has expanded to include literacy classes, cultiva-
tion of organic vegetables (maraichage) and a
community-based cereal bank. Within the last
4 years we have been able to open a prima-
ry health clinic, which employs two professional
nurses. This social clinic is the first of its kind
in the area, and serves over 5,000 people from
Bissiri and surrounding villages.

Multi Purpose Platform in Bissiri, Burkina Faso
Project Description
We have been working for 2 years with the OC-
ADES association (some local catholic association)
so that the Fulbe Potal can possibly get a “multi
purpose platform”, that is an engine that gener-
ate power for a mill, a wet mill, a husk remover,
a welding platform and some extra devices. It is a
great opportunity, they would install it at the mar-
ket, and that group of women will run and manage
it (being trained for that).
Request
OCADES is asking a participation
of 600 USD cash plus a house to
shelter the machine. Thanks to the
work they did with us the Fulbe
Potal managed to collect the 600
USD cash, but remains the house
to build. They need support for that
and the estimate is 1000 USD.
Project History and Progress
The Master Unit keep growing and has become
a real cakra for our community here. The last
donation from Foundation Emanuele Antola, the
oil mill, is providing pesticide to very many of our
farmers! (neem oil) and we are cooking with our
own peanut oil, is really nice.
We have been working a lot with Moringa, it is
also getting big and the demand is growing ev-
eryday for that wonderful powder. We are working
with a groupement of women (see picture below,
the Fulbe Potal group) and they are fantastic in
work and sincerity in processing the leaves.
Update
A Microdonation has been approved in February
2015.

Impact of Microdonations in Bissiri, Burkina Faso
“The second the motorcycle for our local coordinator in our activities in Sahel is completely broken old.
I need to get a new one in emergency. Our motorcycle there is indispensable, the distances from vil-
lage to village being so big and the roads so nonexistent. We need to get the same one i got for the
project in Bissiri MU last time.”
“I am sending you some compact public health pro-
posals. One idea, that your board might like, is a the
purchase of a motorcycle for the public health work.
Our people can use it to reach the remote villages for
the health education. It’s very important. And it will be
something very concrete, the motorcycle cost 1,300 ce-
dis, which is just close to $900, the rest will be for reg-
istration of the motorcycle and a couple of helmets. So
it’s good for accounting and documentation, as it is very
simple. It would make a big difference for our work.
Other than that, you could select some aspects of these
programs and fund them. It would be something I think
the Foundation could be proud to associate with.”
– First microdonation: Beginning 2009 our theater project got selected and we obtained a grant for buy-
ing the background and some more items related to our play. It was used for 2 years of sensitization
and over 30 shows on topics such as hygiene, forced mariage, HIV, sells of prohibited drugs, etc.Direct
beneficiaries over 1250 people.
We have a break now due to the security issued in the area, which do not allow me reach there for 6
month now. But the material is with us and will be used as soon as the conditions are met.
– Second microdonation: December 2009, we purchased a motorcycle 125cc for the work of our coor-
dinator in Bissiri. The motorcycle till today is used daily and serves all the work related to the growing
project. It makes possible to the workers to reach the nearby city 12 kms away through dirt road in about
30 mn. It has been so used that we are thinking to get a second motorcycle to lighten the burden on
that one.
– Third microdonation: June 2010, we purchased a generator, a projector plus few items related to the
functioning of both. We used those item regularly for our maternal programs, some cultural programs in
the north (Sahel) as well as in MU and other localities where AMURT is present. The use may increase

as our AMURT work tend to focus more and more on education and facilitation of already existing groups
of women.
– Fourth microdonation: December 2010, we purchased another motorcycle 125 cc for the work of our
coordinator in Déou. We are covering more than 35 villages in a radius reaching over 40 miles of a
rocky and sandy landscape. Actually the motorcycle was so much used for the purpose of supervising
the work of our 33 village midwives that it is quite worn out and we already bought an other motorcycle
to support it!
– Fifth microdonation: the flour mill bought in August 2011 is functioning 6 days a week, 12 hours a
day. The maintenance is being well done and it has
become part of the villagers’ life now. It has proved
a sustainable asset to the village, a great success.
– Sixth microdonation: September 2011 the mil-
let was purchased and stored in AMURT stores in
Sahel. We first wanted to keep resell the whole of
it at cost price (functioning as a bank of cereal).
But recently with the Mali crisis and the refugees
coming we finally decided to distribute it to some
families in dire need. That is it was used as a relief
in the end and the efforts to consolidate a bank of
cereal are postponed to a post crisis future.
– Seventh microdonation: February 2012 the tricycle
for our MU was purchased with the help of both Antola Foundation and Aile Universelle (France). This
tricycle serves so many purposes: selling of vegetables in nearby cities, transport of material (building is
on going in the MU: processing facilities and a school are being build right now, as well as a workshop
for bakery purpose, shed for material, etc), transport of other material for the community needs, etc. This
was literally a revolution in Bissiri after a non ending area of donkey cart!
– Eighth microdonation: July 2012 we could purchase the necessary equipment for having light in our
clinic in MU (Bissiri, Ananda Viirata) at night and light for our literacy classes. The number of patients
in the clinic keeps on increasing and light as brighten the nights and eased the work of our nurses! The
demand has increased now and we are looking for funds to increase the power of the solar panel as
the community found here a source to charge their mobiles, torch, etc!

Lotus Children Centre in Accra, Ghana
The Foundation has provided a Microdonation to the
Lotus Children Center in the South Western part of
Accra, Ghana.
The Center offers a home for orphaned and dis-
advantaged girls, as well as a pre-school (crèche,
nursery and kindergarten). They organize weekends
activities for the children of the community.
The school children come from very disadvantaged
backgrounds. The center is called “Lotus Children
Centre” because the lotus flower symbolizes beau-
ty and purity. Kids from various tribes and mother
tongues learn meditation and yoga exercises, moral
and social education for healthy physical, mental
and spiritual growth. They also get opportunities for
creative expression and for the development of their
talents, leadership and sense of responsibility.
The center benefits more than 50 kids on
a regular basis and you can learn more
about it by visiting their website:

Reproductive Health Clubs in Secondary Schools, Ghana
AMURT has had a presence in North Tongu Dis-
trict for 25 years. The Mafi-Zongo Water Project
and the Mafi-Seva Community Clinic, with mater-
nal health and health education outreach programs,
have made a deep impact. Both projects are com-
munity owned and managed by the community
now.
The major public health issues in the area are re-
lated to repoductive health. There is a large num-
ber of unsafe abortions, unwanted teenage preg-
nancies, and sexually transmitted diseases. To
address, in 2012 AMURT started clubs for teenage
girls in secondary four secondary schools. In 2013
the program was extended to include boys too.
In the program, staff from Mafi-Seva Community
Clinic, assisted by AMURT volunteers, carry out
educational programs for the teenagers.
The program address very basic sex education on
how children are made, pregnancy and birth, family
planning, sexually transmitted diseases, abortion,
rape, etc. The teenages do role play and stage
dramas that they present to the other students in
their schools.
Once a year, AMURT sponsors and excursion the
sea-side. For almost all the teenagers it will be
their first experience seeing the see and playing
the water. Expenses include t-shirts, stationaries,
excursion, and some small allowances for the fa-
cilitators.
We will use the USD 1,000 like this:
T-shirts – USD 500
Allowance and transport to facilitators USD 300
Stationary and supplies – USD 200
The Foundation logo/name will be printed on the
T-shirts.

AMURT Nigeria - Offia Oji Health Centre
Project Description
The clinic is community owned and community
managed. The community provided labour for the
construction, the building materials were provid-
ed by ActionAid through a distance child adop-
tion program. The government posted a few staff
and AMURT recruited additional staff from the lo-
cal community. AMURT provided all the furniture,
equipment and open inventories. Since the open-
ing day, AMURT has assisted the health centre
with regular doctor visits, and training for the staff.
AMURT also assisted to build additional rooms,
staff quarters and water supply. The health centre
has an ambulance for emergency referrals.
Request
The building is now up, the painting has just start-
ed. Here are some of the main equipments that we
need for the new building:
Hospital beds – 6
Mattresses – 6
Benches – 15
Desks – 5
Examination couches – 2
Chairs – 10
Most of the medical equipment is already in place.
USD 1,000 will be enough for six hospital beds.
Project History
The Offia Oji Health Centre opened four years
ago. It’s located in a disputed border area be-
tween Cross River and Ebonyi State, just in front
of an important local farmer’s market.
Today the health centre has a staff of fourteen.
Due to the hard work and service spirit of the
staff, the number of patients is very high. It was
necessary to constructed another building to ac-
comodate the mothers and patients. The wing is
going to be for ante-natal, delivery and post-natal
with one ward for children. THe health centre has
deliveries every day, averaging 45 deliveries per
month in the last months.

The Ecole Privee Neo-Humaniste in Lome, Togo
re-opened in it’s new four-classroom building in Oc-
tober, 2008. With nearly 100 pupils attending the
Director and teachers felt an urgent need for suf-
ficient number of desks/benches as well as basic
classroom materials.
Assistance from Foundation Emanuele Antola en-
abled the school to build 64 desks/benches (for
128 pupils) and to purchase books (mathematics
and a dictionary) and office supplies.

“Education is the
most powerful weapon
which you can use to
change the world.”
Nelson Mandela
“This is an urgent appeal for support from the
Antola Foundation for our master unit school in
Lome, Togo.
Four classrooms have been constructed in the
past year. This has transformed the project and
public image dramatically for the best.
We immediately need to arrange desks and bench-
es for the classrooms. Classes are to begin on
Monday, 22nd September!
We needs 60 bench desks (each one seats 2
students). The cost is about US$14 15 per bench.
This comes to $840 900, just within the amount
you allocate per project.
The school serves the local community well. The
public schools areovercrowded and deliver low
quality instruction. The other privateschools are
costly for the lower income families.
Hope for your positive reply soon.”

Update
We have now good drinkable water! Beside the
electric pump we have also a hand pump in case
electricity is unavailable. The electric pump is not
fixed at the new building for the time being because
we cannot live there yet as the construction is go-
ing on. But the pump stays at the neighbors and is
brought to our land when needed. Instead of plastic
filter we got stainless steel filter which should be
working better.

Microdonations and their impact
Sometimes we wonder what was the impact of the Foun-
dation’s microdonations program. What benefits did it bring
and was it really useful.
Here are some facts from a Microdonation to AMURT West
Africa which was approved about a year ago, in the end
of February 2012.
The project aimed to reduce maternal mortality rate and
save lives of mothers and newborns in Ebonyi State, Ni-
geria.
For that AMURT used the Microdonation to purchase three
NASGs – Non-pneumatic anti-shock garments. These gar-
ments are used to save the lives of women who suffer
from postpartum hemorrhage, that is heavy bleeding after
delivery.
Oct 11, 2012 – After Martina gave birth to
her baby daughter late Tuesday night, she
suffered severe post-partum hemorrhage.
The birth attendants at Offia Oji Health
Center applied the anti-shock garment and
she was taken to Federal Teaching Hospi-
tal in Abakaliki. After the heavy rains the
roads were so bad, the journey took almost
three hours, when it should be just over 90
minutes. Martina was transfused and is now
recovering. Hopefully she will be discharged
tomorrow.

Saving lives of mothers and newborns in Ebonyi State, Nigeria
Oct 11, 2012 – Post Partum Hemorrhage
is the cause of more than 50 % of the
maternal deaths in our project area. This
year we acquired non-flatable anti-shock
garments which can save lives if ap-
plied in correctly and in time. Check out
this Link to know more about how they
work:http://www.lifewraps.org/lifewrap.

Nov 30, 2012 – Two day training
in the management of Post Partum
Hemorrhage started today at Odelig-
bo Health Center, with fifteen train-
ees from Elugwu Ettam, Ettam and
Odeligbo Health Centers. The training
address all aspects of PPH and intro-
duces how to apply the Non-pneumat-
ic-anti-shock garment to saves lives
of women who go into hypovolemic
shock due to bloodloss after giving
birth.
From AMURT West Africa (Dec 3,
2012): We concluded the Post Partum
Hemorrhage Management Training today at Odeligbo. Here are Ifeyani and Blessing practicing how to
apply the non-pneumatic-anti-shock-garment. This is the most effective tool available to save the lives
of women who go into shock due to blood loss after giving birth.

Rarh Hostel windows in Uma Nivas, India
Project Description
The Rarh Hostel has around 40 resident hostel
children and over 100 students in a primary school
which runs on the first floor (upper floor) of the
hostel building.
The project urgently needs windows and grills for
the primary school as the small children are study-
ing in rooms with gaping holes for windows, which
is extremely dangerous.
Project Mission
To provide quality education for the local tribal chil-
dren from the villages around Uma Nivas.
Request
The lack of windows and grills makes it extremely
dangerous, especially for the very small children.
We request a microdonation of $ 1.000 for the
purpose of completing this important improvement.
Project History
The Rarh hostel has been running for many years,
initially as a primary school hostel, and in recent
years, the small primary school located in Uma
Nivas High School was transferred to the Rarh
Hostel building, as the high school is further from
the village and it was more difficult for the small
children to go there due to the distance.
For 2-3 years the primary school was run in
2 small downstairs rooms, but as numbers in-
creased, the principal started to construct rooms
on the upper floor of the building.
Now, although these classrooms are not com-
plete, the school is running there.

Homeopathic Dispensary in Tiljala, India
“I have just returned from India and in Kolkata I
saw the Homeopathic dispensary that operates in
Tiljala.
It is a very nice project and serving a very poor
population.
They charge 1 Rp per bottle of medicine while the
real cost is close to two rupees. The clinic also
provides payment of two doctors who prescribe the
medicines.
From its inception the clinic treated over 700,000
patients.
The request of micro donation is for funds to pur-
chase medicines. $1,000. This would be enough
to purchase 5 months of medicines - $200/month.
Plus the 1 rupee charged when those medicines
are given out would raise the funds to pay doctors.”

The fifth Microdonation, in July 2011, ben-
efited a children’s home project in Thailand
by providing the funds to a “Rain Water
Collection Project”. The water would then
be used at the children’s home in Huay

director, Ricardo Zoleta of the Baan Dada
Children’s Home and Community Servic-
es, aimed to collect water during the long
months of rainy season to use in the day
to day life at the home. There are cur-
rently almost 60 children in the home.

AMURT Romania – Bath/toilet room extension
Project Description
This project will convert one storeroom on the 1st
floor in our homeless youth centre in Domnesti,
into one new bath and toilet room. This renovation
will include two (2) toilets and three (3) shower
cabins (see the attached image). At present the
storeroom is 12 m2 and will be extended to 14.6
m2. At the moment the centre has only two toilets
and one shower on the ground floor. The maxi-
mum capacity of accommodation in the centre is 15
beds and whenever all beds are filled, the bathing
is a problem. Also, this year with the United Way
of Romania funds, several vocational courses will
be held during daytime with an attendance of 25
persons. This new facility is an urgent necessity.
Request
We need support for the project and the estimate
is 1000 USD.
From 1993 to 2008, Domnesti Centre was a
children home for 8 boys. When the boys where
integrated to Bucharest, having job and place to
stay, the Centre was made to one transitional life
and vocational skill centre for homeless youths
(boys of 18 to 26 years old). Since 2009 a suc-
cessful project.
In 2010 AMURT Romania received US 1,000
from your Foundation for one central heating, as
well as, in 2013 to refurbish one of AMURT´s
apartments. These two supports were of great
value.

Children play area for Ananda Marga Kindergarten in Albania
We started in October 2000, with one teacher in
one classroom and 20 children. We expanded to
two classrooms and two teachers and 40 students
in January 2001. In March 2003 we moved to our
present building which has three classrooms, three
teachers and up to 65 children.
In January 2008 we took over the management of
another kindergarten which is located 2 km away
from the first kg. There are two teachers and 45
children at this new school.
In the past seven years several hundred children
have been educated at our institution and they are
doing very well in the state-run primary school sys-
tem. Our school has won a reputation of academic
excellence as a result of this.
Project Mission
To provide high quality, neo-humanist education to
children living in Bathore, Albania at an affordable
price.
Request
We would like to construct a play area in the back
of the first kindergarten. The landlord has been us-
ing this area for his carpentry equipment, but he is
removing it now and we would like to put in swings,
slides, play equipment and landscaping now. The
amount needed is $ 1500
Location and Background
The school is situated 15 km from Tirana, the capital
of Albania. The district where the school is located
is called Bathore. This area was a large state owned
farm during the communist period (1945-1990).
Following the collapse of communism in Albania,
migrants from Albania’s northern provinces began to
settle on this land (as squatters). They built houses
and some of them did some small cultivation (though
the plots are small). During the 1990s more people
settled and today this area is a suburb (with a rural
feel, as many people still keep cows and chickens)
with over 35,000 people.
The people who settled in Bathore did so because
there was no employment in the rural areas where
they came from, as the state economic structure of
the communist years suddenly collapsed. They came
to the Tirana area in hopes of jobs. But even today,
more than 50% of the population in this district is
unemployed and some of the families face extreme
hardship.

Update in May 2008
Here are the photos of the playground equipment: the total cost was just about the exact amount that
you sent! (about $250 was for labor and the rest for materials. This is custom built equipment made
from iron, so it should be pretty sturdy). The children and teachers are really enjoying it.

Reading Project – Barlovento, Venezuela
Project Description
This project is for children and youth to help them
develop an interest in reading and writing and intro-
duce them to the wonderful world of books through
which they will be exposed to fantasies, new ideas,
values etc.
The project started in 2000 when we observed the
weak reading skills of the children and young adults
in the area where the Center is located, specially
of the children in poor rural villages. Since then we
have done a variety of activities related to improving
their reading and writing skills.
Recently the project started to take more shape
thanks to funding received from CENAL (National
Book Center). At the moment the project is being
implemented in 2 villages: la Guairita, 75 families,
and Madre Vieja, 60 families. In each village one
mother has a small library of children´s books lent
to her by the Center. Once a week she goes door
to door, talks to the children and to the adults in
the house who read to their children and have them
choose another book. Every month we do a collec-
tive activity with all the children in the village which
include story reading, painting, drama etc.

News report from AMURT / AMURTEL Burma
“AMURT has been able to organize massive food distri-
butions in the affected Delta area! We have so far sent
trucks into the heavily damaged Kungyangon district
three hours South-West of Yangon City. The distributed
parcels with basic food items benefitted the affected
households and the host community of the medium size
town of Twa Chaung.”

Philippines.”
“Over one year has passed since 200 mph winds
wreaked havoc on the coastal belt of East Samar in the
Philippines. AMURT’s reconstruction teams, under the
capable leadership of local civil engineers, have built 39
new classrooms and repaired 189 classrooms in 108
schools, making it an important implementing organiza-
tion in East Samar.”

Millennium Development Goals
“On a recent trip to India I witnessed this scene at the train
station in Pundag. One quite thin lady dressed in orange had
a bag loaded on her head by two men and then she went on
carrying it to the other side of the station. The bag was filled
with coal, really heavy stones and she carried it all alone. That
is the plight of the poor. They work really hard just to survive.
Can we change it? FEA was founded in 2006 and I think we
need to do more but that depends on the involvement of more
heads and hands. Check our website www.emanueleantola.
org and maybe you get inspired to work with us.”
1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
By 2015, reduce by half both the proportion of
people living on less than $1 a day and the share
suffering from hunger.
2. Achieve universal primary education
Ensure that by 2015 all boys and girls complete a
full course of primary schooling.
3. Promote gender equality and empower women
Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary
education, preferably by 2005, and at all levels by
2015.
4. Reduce child mortality
By 2015, reduce by two thirds the mortality rate
among children under five.
5. Improve maternal health
By 2015, reduce by three-quarters the maternal
mortality rate.

cable diseases
Halt and begin to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS,
malaria, and other major diseases by 2015.
7. Ensure environmental sustainability
Integrate the principles of sustainable development
into country policies and programs, and reverse the
loss of environmental resources. By 2015, cut in
half the proportion of people without access to safe
drinking water and sanitation. By 2020, improve
significantly the lives of 100 million slum dwellers.
8. Develop a global partnership for development
• Develop an open trading and financial system that
is rule-based, nondiscriminatory and include a com-
mitment to good governance, development and pov-
erty reduction.
• Address the special needs of least developed
countries to include reduced tariffs and quota free
market access, enhanced debt relief, and more gen-
erous development assistance for countries commit-
ted to poverty reduction.
• Address the special needs of small island develop-
ing states and landlocked countries. Make debt sus-
tainable, increase youth employment, and provide
access to essential drugs and new technologies.

Microdonations
What is the “Microdonations” program of FEA? Under this program FEA donates $1,000 USD to a relief
or development project to improve their infrastructure or purchase some needed piece of equipment
that will improve their capacity of rendering services to the people. You would be amazed to hear that
a small amount can sometimes make a big difference for a small project. www.emanueleantola.org.
