The Ashby Foundation invites those with needed skills to be
directly involved by traveling to Cape Verde West Africa to provide
expertise to local programs. We currently have needs for individuals
with the following experience:
Commercial fishing
Retail or wholesale apparel sales
Employment agencies
If you have experience in one of these areas and would be
willing to donate 2-3 weeks of your time and travel costs please contact us for more information.
Cape Verde has few natural resources and is required to import
almost all of its food and manufactured goods. We often ship
containers of needed items to Cape Verde and ask for your donations.
The following items are currently needed:
Computer Equipment
Sewing machines
Carpentry tools
Vision testing equipment
The Ashby Foundation has applied for tax exempt status with
the IRS and expects to be granted 501(c)(3) status. Financial
contributions that are made go directly to the providing scholarships and
training. None of contributions are used for overhead expenses. For
more information please contact us.
