Foundation For Mauritanian Relief And Development

FOUNDATION FOR MAURITANIAN RELIEF AND DEVELOPMENT IS A NONPROFIT CORPORATION ORGANIZED AND OPERATED EXCLUSIVELY FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES. THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE OF THIS ORGANIZATION IS TO ENGAGE IN HUMANITARIAN SERVICES FOR THE BENEFIT OF UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN THE COUNTRY OF MAURITANIA.

SEE SCHEDULE O:THROUGH DONATIONS, WE WILL PROVIDE MUCH NEEDED SUPPLIES TO INDIVIDUALS AND CHILDREN WITHIN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES IN THE COUNTRY OF MAURITANIA WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE MAGHREB REGION OF WESTERN NORTH AFRICA WHERE ABOUT 20% OF MAURITANIANS LIVE ON LESS THAN $1.25 US DOLLARS PER DAY AND MANY CHILDREN ARE ORPHANS. IN FURTHERANCE OF THIS MISSION, WE WILL SOLICIT DONATIONS AND PURCHASE ITEMS AT OR BELOW FAIR MARKET VALUE, AS NEEDED, TO DONATE TO THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN AND ORPHANS WHO WOULD OTHERWISE NOT HAVE ACCESS TO SUCH NECESSITIES. THESE SUPPLIES WILL INCLUDE CLEAN CLOTHING, FOOD, MEDICINE (ASPRIN, TYLENOL, IBUPROFEN AND COLD MEDICINE) AND OTHER BASIC LIVING GOODS. IN ADDITION, WITHIN THE VILLAGE OF KIFFAH EXISTS A SCHOOL 'DAR-US-SALAAM' WHICH MEANS 'HOUSE OF PEACE' THAT IS UNDER THE OVERSIGHT OF SALEK OULD SIDDINE DAH, A RENOWNED SCHOLAR IN MAURITANIA WHO SERVES AS THE SCHOOL'S RECTOR. APPROXIMATELY 120 POOR AND ORPHANED CHILDREN ATTEND THIS SCHOOL FREE OF CHARGE. ALTHOUGH THESE CHILDREN ARE RECEIVING A NO COST EDUCATION, OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL THEY ARE IN DIRE NEED OF THE BASIC LIFE NECESSITIES. WE WILL THEREFORE PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH MUCH-NEEDED CLEAN CLOTHES, FOOD, MEDICINE, SCHOOL SUPPLIES, TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM SCHOOL, AND BOARDING. WE WILL ALSO ASSIST THESE UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN IN OBTAINING THE NECESSARY MEDICAL CARE TO WHICH THEY ARE DEPRIVED BY PROVIDING THEM WITH TRANSPORTATION TO MEDICAL CARE FACILITIES, PAYING NECESSARY MEDICAL EXPENSES, AND ENSURING THEY RECEIVE THE CARE THEY DESPERATELY NEED. TO ACCOMPLISH OUR GOALS AND IMPLEMENT THIS PROGRAM, OUR DIRECTORS WILL TRAVEL TO MAURITANIA ONCE PER YEAR AND SPEND APPROXIMATELY FOUR (4) MONTHS ON THE GROUND WORKING TOGETHER AND WITH VOLUNTEERS. WE ANTICIPATE DONATING THE COLLECTED SUPPLIES ONCE PER FISCAL QUARTER, OR MORE IF OUR RESOURCES ALLOW AND WHILE ON THE GROUND, WE WILL CONSISTENTLY CONTINUE TO ASSESS THE NEEDS OF THE CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES, INCLUDING THEIR PSYCHOLOGICAL, MEDICAL, AND NUTRITIONAL NEEDS AND THEIR NEED FOR CLEAN CLOTHES AND OTHER NECESSITIES TO DETERMINE HOW WE CAN BEST SUPPORT THEM MOVING FORWARD.
