My Nonprofit Reviews
Don Baker
Review for Foundation for Sustainable Development, Oakland, CA, USA
FSD provides a very important role for the NGOs in the countries where they work. FSD provides a link to best practices of other worldwide NGO's and that provides cricical imformation concerning the improvement of the economy and local environment. In Uganda, I visited seveal of the organizations being assited by FSD interns and saw first hand the improvement that the small changes had made in the lives of the local families. From the introduction of new crops for more cash flow and better use of the land. To the construction of a nursery at a high school for teenage mothers, FSD was helping the local NGO's improve the quality of life for the population.
