How to build a pharmacy for 33₵

Okay, so really it’s 33₵ a day for 10 months but still it’s less than a cup of coffee a week.  You’re probably sitting at your desk nodding, “I can afford that – I should totally do it.”

Yet despite great intentions, most won’t get involved.  Everyone’s so busy and stretched really thin.  A lot of folks don’t fully understand global poverty issues.  So we hope you’ll  give us 15 seconds to share with you why we care about this so much and how easy it is to change things:


- 21 children under 5 die every minute from treatable illnesses
   Think about a child in your own life and the future you hope for them


- Almost half of the 1.8 million deaths of children under five each year are from malaria, pneumonia and
  diarrhea – totally treatable diseases

-Lifesaving treatment costs as little as $4

Access to medicines can save a life and so we’re building the community’s first pharmacy! 

We’ve got the building and the pharmacy professional; we just need you to help us stock it.


We know you’re busy but we’ll hope you join us.  It’s SO easy:
1. Get a jar
2. Put your spare change in it
3. Count the change each quarter and write a check
4. Put the check in addressed/stamped envelope we send you
5. Put it in the mail

Five simple steps to saving a life.
Now is the time.  If everyone who thinks “I should do this” does it, we’ll have a pharmacy this time next year.  If most folks think, “I’ll do it later” or “I’m sure they’ve got enough folks” then we might miss the opportunity to help children have a healthy childhood and a vibrant future. 

Send us an email if you’d like to be part of this amazing story:  amy@taraproject.org.  We just need your mailing address so we can send you the envelope each quarter.

Thank you for helping us by investing in a pharmacy that will ensure healthy futures.
