World Poverty

As social entrepreneurs, we are concerned with using our business skill sets to address inequities in the world.  One example of a great problem in the world is poverty related hunger.  Consider the following statistics: 850 million children went to bed hungry last night, a child dies every 5 seconds from hunger related complications and the population of the United States throws away more food in a year than the entire continent of Africa consumes.  How can we impact these numbers?www.mmdr.org

Social Enterprise

We started a for profit business, LAVE MD, in 2003 to provide funding for Mobile Medical Disaster Relief (MMDR), our non profit corporation.  MMDR provides medical care, clean water programs, sustainable agricultural models and micro enterprise initiatives to people in developing countries which have sustained infrastructure damage due to natural or man made disaster.  Since 2005, we have provided 20,000 people with medical care which was otherwise unavailable, sustainable clean water and sustainable micro enterprise initiatives to alleviate suffering in the developing world.
