Ideame is not your typical charity if you could call it a charity at all.  Many charitable organizations with noble intentions provide for needs that only sustain an individual in the moment sometimes causing more harm than good by creating dependence in the long run.  

Ideame on the other hand empowers underprivileged Honduran citizens through micro-loans and education enabling them to start and build their own business.  This  ultimately creates independence so they can provide for themselves and their families.  This model is also built around these new business owners paying back their loans which in turn opens doors for others thus making this a truly sustainable system.   

When thinking about how to spend your charitable dollars please consider Ideame.  It is not only one of the best bangs for your buck but more importantly a wonderful way to express the love of God by lifting individuals out of poverty all while maintaining their dignity.
