Accomplishments

In 2003, YAGForLife hosted our inaugural annual fundraiser in response to a food emergency taking place in Ethiopia. YAGForLife used the funds raised that year to purchase enough food to feed 14,000 for one month. Despite this success, we shifted focus in 2004 to projects that make a more lasting impact. Funds raised in 2004 helped rural communities in Ethiopia dig and implement 8 clean water projects, which will serve over 7,000 people for years to come. Our ambition is to continue funding water projects in these and other rural communities to offer a better life for their members.
