We listened to Tamara Cannon, founder of the Lille Fro Foundation about her treks through the himilayan mountains, the effect that sponsoring a young child in Northern India has made on her and why she set up the Lille Fro Foundation so that others can experience the joy of supporting the communities in some of the most remotest part of Northern India.
Exist between you and the lasting difference you can make to a child living in extreme poverty ... to a mother who cannot feed her children ... to a father who cannot afford to send his kids to school.
Even if they live on the other side of the world. In the remotest places on the planet.
Lille Fro works at the grassroots. With the poorest of the poor. With families, many of them from indigenous communities, who are difficult to reach and hard to help because of their geographical isolation or the conditions in which they live.
Our programs are located in northern India, in the shadow of the Himalayas where remote villages are cut off for 6 to 8 months during the harsh winter months, when it is impossible to grow fresh food and children cannot get to school.
Lille Fro's work is hands on. We provide scholarships for children to board at primary school. We build greenhouses so families can grow nutritious fresh food year round. We fund skills training for adults so they can support their families.
You can make an immediate difference in a child's life now and help his or her community build a more sustainable future.
