| Friends of Swaminathan Australia
(FOSA) is an extension of the 'Friends' network
throughout the US and Japan. Inspired by the work
of renowned scientist and humanist, Prof. MS Swaminathan,
it was established to enable individuals and corporations
in Australia to make a real difference to global
poverty by setting up their own micro-credit banks
to support environmentally sustainable projects
in developing countries in South Asia. |
| |
| Four Ways You can Help: |
| |
- Micro-credit Banks
- Mission 2007
- Assistance to the "Friends"
- On-site participation
|
| |
| FOSA also seeks to raise funds
and equipment to support Mission 2007. This mission
aims to develop rural knowledge centers to enable
farmers' organizations and village women to easily
access the scientific and technical knowledge
they need to solve local problems and enhance
the quality of their lives. |
