INBD International Needs Bangladesh

Renovation of Orphanage

Restoration of dorm, classroom bathrooms, toilet, kitchen, dinning hall Heavy duty motor pump

is working with the Savar Children's Village whose main purpose is to help the needy and destitute orphan children of Bangladesh. We will be funding the restoration of an orphanage and purchasing a high power motor pump to draw water up to the ground level.

Annual budget: €7206 Euros

Bangladesh is one of the world's poorest nations, suffering from gross over-population and periodic natural disasters such as devastating floods during monsoon season and cyclones usually accompanied by enormous loss of life. There seems little hope that the poverty will ever be substantially alleviated.

In 1988 the government declared Islam to be the state religion. Officially there is religious freedom, but this is being steadily eroded by Islamic pressure and a legal system that gives no safeguards to ethnic or religious minorities. The Islamic extremists are a strong and growing minority.

Bulgaria surfaces in the international media in passing, at best. It seems to scarcely exist for Europe's general populace anymore.

Unemployment in Bulgaria stands officially at 18 percent, but real unemployment is over 35 percent. The official minimum wage is 79 EUR per month, and pensions for 44 years of service amount to roughly 62 EUR. The cost of heating a two-room apartment is 60 Euro per month, and electricity is 15 Euro per month. A salami costs EUR 20, and a kilogram of pork is 10 EUR. Sixty five percent of the population lives in poverty. Average monthly income per capita is approx. EUR 200. Families need two incomes for adequate living standard.

The services, especially for children, the weakest segments of society, have been devastated. The children in many orphanages and homes don't have enough to eat. The structures of many of the homes are disintegrating. In some homes, the children must be herded together because parts of the building are in danger of collapsing. The hygienic conditions are catastrophic. Buildings cannot be maintained properly because of a lack of funds. Education system is slowly being transformed and much under funded. It is being recognized by the society that quality Christian education has an key role to play in Bulgaria today.

INBF-International Needs Burkina Faso

Executive director: Jean Koné in charge of 4 churches, 1 secondary school in the city of Bobo

Annual budget: €7200

Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta) is a landlocked country located in the middle of West Africa's "hump." It is geographically in the Sahel--the agricultural region between the Sahara Desert and the coastal rain forests. Burkina Faso achieved independence from France in 1960. Repeated military coups during the 1970s and 1980s were followed by multiparty elections in the early 1990s. Burkina Faso's high population density and limited natural resources result in poor economic prospects for the majority of its citizens. Recent unrest in Cote d'Ivoire and northern Ghana has hindered the ability of several hundred thousand seasonal Burkina farm workers to find employment in neighboring countries.

INBF-International Needs India

IN Monaco is happy to fund the building of a new school. We are sponsoring the construction and the school fees will enable the school to be self-funding thereafter.

This project costs €17,083 [2008]

INPH International Needs Philippines

Medical Mission
Transportation fo 5 doctors/dentists
Surgical Items
Medicines and vitamins

Because of the large rural population, many in the Philippines do not have access to sufficient medical care. IN Monaco is supporting five 2-day medical mission trips into these rural areas to provide minor surgeries, medications and dental care.

The Philippines, officially the Republic of the Philippines,is a nation located in Southeast Asia, with Manila as its capital city. The Philippines comprise 7,107 islands in the western Pacific Ocean, bordering countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Palau, and the Republic of China. The Philippines is the world's 12th most populous country with a population approaching 87 million people.

A Spanish colony from 1565 to 1898, the Philippines was ruled by the USA from 1898 until independence in 1946. After President Marcos declared martial law in 1971, political manipulation, mismanagement and abuse of civil liberties prevailed until democracy was restored in 1986. Alleviating the widespread poverty is a major challenge. The country enjoys freedom of religion and is Asia's only country with a Catholic majority.

INRO INTERNATIONAL NEEDS ROMANIA

IN Monaco is supporting Eugen Popescu as he establishes churches in this previously communist country. Romania began the transition from Communism in 1989 with a largely obsolete industrial base. Macroeconomic gains have only recently started to spur creation of a middle class and address Romania's widespread poverty, while corruption and red tape continue to handicap the business environment. Under Communism, manipulation and control of churches was oppressive, with severe persecution for those who refused to submit. Only 15 religious groups are officially recognized others can only operate as associations. Minority groups find that most persecution comes from the Orthodox Church rather than the government itself. Eugen Popescu seeks to establish true religious freedom for those who are pursuing spiritual interests.

Annual budget: €1980

Romania is a land rich in agriculture, minerals and oil but plundered, impoverished and polluted under Communism for the benefit of the elite. Economic liberalisation since 1990 has been slow. Under Communism, manipulation and control of churches was oppressive, with severe persecution for those who refused to submit. A proposed bill on religious freedom contained policies as strict as any in the former Soviet Union, but this was withdrawn. Only 15 religious groups are officially recognized ~ others can only operate as associations.

Youth in Romania spend a day together discussing life's complicated issues and what the Bible has to say about them.

INRO INTERNATIONAL NEEDS SRI LANKA

After the devasting tsunami of 2004, many in Sri Lanka were left homeless. IN Monaco was happy to support the construction of 50 new homes. This project has been fully funded and the last few homes are under construction.

This budget has already been met by a generous donor [2008]
