I SUPPORT AFRICA CAMPAIGN
For some time now (three years) we have been 'promoting' the "I SUPPORT AFRICA CAMPAIGN" - this website, www.isupportafrica.org is currently ranked as number one and three from some 46,400,000 (million) WebPages on www.yahoo.com when searching for "How can I support Africa?"
The objective of this "I SUPPORT AFRICA" campaign is to mobilize the world to 'take hands' in support of Africa and her people. This campaign therefore endeavors to promote opportunities in Africa and to acknowledge those who share our vision in Africa's sustainable development process.
Most importantly this campaign allows the "you and I" of this world to participate in Africa's development!
This campaign allows for the following participatory processes:
One - Add you name to the growing list of names proclaiming 'Yes! - I Support Africa'
Two - To promote business initiatives and job creation - therefore creating prosperity and wealth for our people!
And now - We are now ready to launch the third option - this will enable all to participate and contribute to a project of choice - you will soon be able to access a list of projects from the www.isupportafrica.org website and make a contribution to a project of choice. This contribution is not limited to a financial aid - expertise and know-how - is also needed.
We now need to list these projects. To enable the FDA to 'showcase' these projects on our website you are requested to submit these projects by completing the on-line submission form - see:
http://www.isupportafrica.com/isagen/projects/project_submission_form.htm
If you have a project or know of a project - please complete or forward this email appropriately.

Efforts at enhancing the standard of living in developing countries are guided by the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which set out an ambitious agenda for progress in the areas of poverty reduction, education, gender equality, public health, environmental sustainability and international cooperation. It is clear to most observers that financing the MDGs will rely first and foremost on mobilising private resources, including both domestic capital formation and foreign direct investment (FDI).
