Making A Little Go A Long Way For Families & Communities
CLEAR TIN
Who We Are
Clear Tin is a non-profit that believes everyone has the right to a good quality of life. We connect people to the resources they need to build strong and healthy communities, and pursue an education to improve their economic opportunities. We are creating the change we want to see in the world!
Why our name? Our projects include reroofing houses with galvanized tin. Our signature piece is a clear polycarbonate “sun-roof”, locally called “Clear Tin” – significantly more expensive than the regular tin, but well worth it.
Locals call us the Clear tin people. Clear Tin brings light into homes, and we bring light into peoples’ lives.
What We Do
01.
— Education
Education is the key to opportunity. We are helping students of various ages finish school and pursue careers they might not otherwise have access to.
02.
— Infrastructure
Running water, working toilets. Easy things to take for granted in some countries. We help ensure families and communities have access to these essentials!
03.
— Relieve Poverty
Certain members of the community are more vulnerable (think, elders, widows, those experiencing injury or disability). We provide assistance to these demographics.
04.
— Food Program
Families here commonly eat only one main evening meal per day. We provide a lunch meal to school children up to six days a week to support them as they grow.
05.
— Sanitation
We do work both with an over-capacity prison for basic sanitation, and partner with a women’s sanitation group to help growing girls stay in school.
06.
— Sport Support
We encourage the development of citizens and the broader community through sport! This includes providing equipment to local groups that decide to form a team.
