Mercy Ships brings hope and healing to the forgotten poor by mobilizing people and resources worldwide, and serving all people without regard for race, gender, or religion. They do this with a big, white, state-of-the-art hospital ship that delivers free life changing surgeries to those that have no access to healthcare. They also provide training local healthcare professionals to build capacity within the country.

BOMA’s Rural Entrepreneur Access Project (REAP) is an innovative two-year poverty graduation program that provides a cash grant (seed capital to launch a business), sustained training in business skills and savings, and hands-on local mentoring by BOMA Village Mentors to business groups of three women.

About The Project

When the businesses are established and generating profits, typically at six months, Mentors work with REAP groups to form BOMA savings associations and work with each savings group for one year. Our program targets the poorest of the poor: When we begin working with them, 99 percent of BOMA entrepreneurs live on less than $2.50 per day (the poverty line), while 88 percent live on less than $1.25 per day (the extreme poverty line).

REAP helps women to build a pathway out of extreme poverty by addressing three elements that contribute to the cycle of aid dependency in the arid lands of Africa: low incomes, inconsistent cash flows and inadequate financial services for the rural poor. Profits from each REAP business provide a diversified income, while BOMA savings associations help women to manage cash flow (for daily needs), plan for future expenses (such as school fees and medical care), and respond to shocks (such as drought or family emergencies).

With a donation from 5DayDeal, we could be able to enroll 176 women (who support an average of 880 dependent children) in our two-year program of sequenced interventions including a cash grant to start a sustainable business, training and mentoring and a savings program. The 176 women would “graduate” women out of extreme poverty so that they can feed and educate their children and build up savings for long term expenses and shocks such as drought.

The Exodus Road brings strategic solutions to the counter-trafficking movement. Their primary focus is to support interventions and rescues by providing covert gear, technology, resources and staff to support local authorities in freeing and caring for victims of modern slavery. Every human being, every child, deserves freedom.

About The Project

We are focused on empowering targeted interventions -- actual rescue operations from cases of "hard" trafficking with police. Whereas many anti-slavery organizations use the term "rescue" to mean different things, we specifically fuel rescues from legally recognized situations of trafficking, in support of local police.

In the last four years, our teams have supported the rescues of 678 individuals on three continents. While we do invest in prevention and after care projects, our main niche lies in fueling finding and helping to free those currently trapped in slavery. We have found that there are very few people actively looking for current slaves, and we are inspiring and equipping an army of people to do just that. Our motto is: Justice in the hands of the ordinary.

We believe that everyone has a role to play in abolition, and so we work hard to equip the "average" person to make a real difference. My husband and I founded the organization after my husband became a deputized undercover operative with the police in SE Asia. We were (are!) just average people who stumbled on the problem of trafficking while living here, so we are closely intimate with the "ordinary" nature of the abolitionists we are equipping. We also place a high value on the following: collaboration, empowerment of nationals, innovative technology solutions, and bringing donors to the "front lines" of the fight.

The Exodus Road helps find and free modern slaves. We specifically support police efforts in SE Asia, India, and the United States. Our main niche is in fueling undercover operatives in these countries to find and gather evidence of trafficking to deliver to trusted police partners. We also grant covert and cyberforensics gear to national police and investigators to empower raids, rescues, and arrests. We also lead a collaborative effort in SE Asia which hosts events and trainings which bring practitioners together for the sake of freedom. Our three mains goals are to: Empower Rescue, Equip Nationals, and Encourage Collaboration. Our mission statement: We help find and free slaves through strategic action with ordinary people.

Tough As Her helps women and girls in developing countries by providing assistance to them to reduce their risks so they can focus on education and their families.

About The Project

A donation from 5DayDeal would provide the Tough As Her campaign with the resources necessary to help women in Ethiopia overcome the obstacles they face in the ongoing drought and anticipated famine. Agricultural assistance through drought resistant crops will ensure that families can survive the next 12 months, better farming techniques cut workloads in half while increasing yields 2-4 times, and women's community groups provide health education to increase child mortality rates in villages. With the amount estimated, we could increase our engagement to over 3,000 households in severely drought affected areas in Ethiopia.
