The great challenge for international organizations this year is to remind donors, justly concerned about the humanitarian crises in Afghanistan and Iraq, that the rest of the world has not gone away. Even groups that provide aid to these war-torn countries are concerned about their other programs – in the Caribbean, Africa, South America, and elsewhere. And then there is the sense that the magnitude of the problem – hunger, poverty, HIV/AIDS – makes the solution seem out of reach. But the destruction of the rainforest, the AIDS pandemic, human rights abuse, and famine, do not vanish when we grow weary, and do not disappear when other stories dominate the news. Besides,“saving a life in the third world” can be, as the New York Times has noted, “mind-bogglingly cheap.” The World Health organization makes condoms available for 3 cents apiece; the cost of AIDS medication is $350 a year (it used to cost $15,000); and land in the threatened habitats of Latin America can be saved for $100 an acre. So we invite your renewed attention to small organizations doing excellent and cost-effective work to solve a host of critical problems around the globe – where your investment, of interest and resources, goes very far indeed.
