Pangea's 2007 grants focused on community strengthening and improvement in Central America, and on improving the capacity of rural families, communities and institutions to overcome the impacts of HIV/AIDS and poverty in East Africa. The following organizations were chosen to receive grants:
Rabuor Village Project (previous grantee, Kenya) expanded production of sunflower crop funded in 2006.
Common Ground Program (previous grantee, Kenya) began construction of a water system to supply water to the Pathfinder Academy and to its community. Political unrest caused a delay and price increase, so only the water storage system was completed. Our grant also paid boarding school fees for a promising secondary school girl who wants to become a doctor.
GWAKO Ministries (Kenya) drilled a bore hole and provided training on improved agricultural practices for Kambare Village Women's Group.
Omeko Women's Group (Kenya) started a poultry breeding program, stocked their pharmacy, and established a small revolving loan fund to provide capital for micro enterprises by the women of the village.
