Welcome to the 100 Friends Project!
Welcome to the 100 Friends Project!
I am Marc Gold and I started this project 36 years ago, in 1989.
The idea is really very simple. Every year many people like you make a tax-deductible contribution to the project and I take the money to developing countries and look for the neediest people I can find. We use the funds for basic living expenses, scholarships, support for the elderly, income-generating small businesses, medical expenses, school supplies, shelter, transportation, educational expenses, food, clothing, farm animals, building libraries, schools, toilets and disaster relief.
You put the donation into my hands and I put the funds directly into the hands of the needy individuals or families, or a small trusted representative or grassroots organization helping them. I document everything with written reports, photos, video and more.
Who & How We Help
100 Friends has a unique approach to assisting the needy in developing countries. Our main focus is on helping the most vulnerable, namely - children, needy families and the elderly. We make sure the money goes directly to the recipients with assistance targeted to those not receiving aid from other sources. The newsletters, press articles, radio and TV interviews, written reports, photos and videos on this website demonstrate the results of our direct and practical approach to aid with very little overhead.
