The Pinnacle of Sami’s Project – by Sami’s Father
The Pinnacle of Sami’s Project – by Sami’s Father
The High Atlas Foundation will soon reach the momentous pinnacle of its One Million Tree Campaign. This initiative began as a modest attempt to alleviate rural poverty by transitioning local farmers away from traditional cash crops to fruit tree agriculture. Over 10 years, we estimate to have helped around 50,000 families make the step out of poverty. The planting of HAF’s 1 Millionth Fruit Tree will occur at noon on 16 January 2014 in 8 provinces simultaneously where HAF currently has projects under the auspices of Sami’s Project , a HAF program inspired by the loving memory of Sami El Kouhen to bring transformational and sustainable benefits to often poor and neglected youth in Morocco. Sami lost his battle against…Read More

#GivingTuesday Can Make Dreams Come True!
Poverty didn’t stop Tonya from dreaming big. All she wanted was to get her degree and become a history teacher. Maybe explore the world, beyond her tiny hometown.Now it seemed impossible , because of one, little word: pregnant . Tonya’s last relationship hadn’t been good and now it was over. Her dead-end job barely brought in enough money to get by. She couldn’t afford college, yet alone a baby. “I felt like I lost everything. I lost hope. This was not the way my life was supposed to be,” she admitted. Some people thought Tonya should just get an abortion. They told her a baby would keep her from achieving her dreams. She even felt rejected at church. At that low point, Tonya chose to investigate her options at her local…Read More

Share A Smile, We’ll Share A Meal
Share A Smile, We’ll Share A Meal
We can all give a smile. It started with that simple idea. Limitless Good is a new company that looks to celebrate, share and reward all the social good that is happening all around us. #GivingTuesday is such an incredible idea, we knew we wanted to be part of the movement this year. The question was, how could a small company have a big impact in the world of giving. Who doesn’t love the idea of donating and helping charities? The reason why every single person does not take part in #GivingTuesday is not from lack of desire, it’s because they may lack the means to help. We wanted to figure out a way to get more people involved in #GivingTuesday, even if they lacked money or time to donate. What is something that everyone…Read More
