Thank You Donors. We couldn't have done it without you! |

Did you know that more than a third of our funding for the 2008 East Africa Project came from individual donors? Major news outlets have closed foreign bureaus and most rely on newswires for all of their foreign stories. They can't afford it any more - but we work on a budget! Our costs for reporting from Ethiopia and Kenya worked out to less than $2,000, per person, per month. Individual donors have been our lifeblood since the beginning, and we still need your support. A recurring donation of $10 or $20 a month really pays off, and goes a long way towards keeping original, independent, international stories you won't get anywhere else coming your way. |
