Something extra for your partner
There is absolutely no responsibility to provide additional financial assistance to your partner. More important is simply maintaining and developing your partnership. However, in our effort to make partnerships as direct as possible, with more individual control, we provide opportunities for you to take independent, direct action.
Supplies

Clothes (pants and shirt) $40
Shelter improvement (fix a leaky roof, repair a wall, etc.) $80

Tutoring for children
The children who are going to school are usually disadvantaged in not having had the normal educational background for their age. To help them catch up you may hire an afternoon tutor for them. After class, they stay for one additional hour each day. The tutor will help them with their lessons and other basic educational needs.
$50 for two three month sessions
Food
You can purchase additional meals for your partner. Available programs: Meals for $10 (2 per week) monthly (cancel anytime) or Meals for $20 (4 per week} monthly (cancel anytime). These meals are purchased from a street vendor in the area where you partner lives, so that she or he can eat the whole meal comfortably.

Your own idea
As you review your partner's Profile and learn about them during the course of the year you may notice some problems that are not addressed in your Financial plan. Or maybe the funds available are simply not sufficient to meet the needs of your partner.
Send us a note
Send note explaining what kind of additional help you'd like to provide.
For help of additional family members or others, the best response may be to create a new partnership. You can 'Expand your circle of partnership' (see link at right), or perhaps you can help locate someone to become a partner.
