MIFA Meals on Wheels is designed to assist homebound seniors by providing them with a balanced, nutritious diet. However, it is more than a meal. Volunteers offer fellowship and support to these individuals, many of whom are socially isolated. The program is for those who cannot cook for themselves, have no one to cook for them, and are unable to leave their homes for meals. With your help, our service allows people to stay in their own homes, remain independent, and avoid living in costly institutions--a financial benefit to the recipient and the community.

Mission Statement
Build an efficient, open, thriving marketplace that connects people who have community and world-changing ideas with people who can support them.
Description
GlobalGiving was founded by two former World Bank executives who decided to use the Internet to create a highly efficient marketplace. The GlobalGiving platform enables more funding to reach projects throughout the globe, and, at the same time, provides a more transparent, engaging way for donors to give.
Because we enable donors to give directly to projects, they know exactly where their money is going. Donors can see progress updates on most projects as funding is received and goals are met.
Donations made through GlobalGiving are higher impact because:
- Money is going directly to a well-defined project versus supporting general operating expenses
- Projects on globalgiving.com have exposure to thousands of donors, enabling us to aggregate multiple sources of funding for each project
- Many projects on globalgiving.com are located in the developing world where a little money goes a long way
