In all fairness there is more than enough to go around...
Plenty is a not-for-profit alternative relief and development organization founded in Tennessee in 1974. Plenty has managed projects in 15 countries on four continents focused on support of the world's native peoples and other disenfranchised people and our common environment. Plenty promotes appropriate and sustainable technologies such as small scale agriculture, nutrition, primary health care, clean water, alternative energy, and more. To learn about our current projects and resources, click on a project area above. To read about our ongoing efforts in these and other areas, sign up for our quarterly newsletter, the Plenty Bulletin, and visit the Bulletin Archives and the Plenty Blog.
Our original Plenty Charter includes the ambitious mandate: "To help and aid any people anywhere in the world who (suffer) due to any natural or man-caused disaster such as drought, famine, flood, storm, earthquake, tidal wave..." and goes on to include just about any other disaster you can think of. Our recent disaster relief efforts have extended from Mayan villages in Guatemala to orphanages in tsunami stricken India. We arrived in New Orleans just days after hurricane Katrina struck and are working there still thanks to your generous contributions, which are still badly needed. Learn more about our disaster relief efforts here. An 11 minute video by Plenty International features recent (August 2007) interviews with four Katrina Survivors who are still waiting for help promised by Federal and State governments through the "Road Home" program to get out of their cramped and toxic FEMA trailers and back into their homes. All four live in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans or the town of Arabi in the adjacent St. Bernard Parish. All four are among the folks Plenty has been assisting within the limits of our funding and available skilled volunteers. Their stories are heart-breaking but their resolute spirit and determination are inspiring. It's appalling to realize that there are tens of thousands more just like them. These are voices that deserve a national microphone. Watch video here! Two years after Katrina thousands are still without homes. Plenty teams up with Brave New Films to produce a short documentary for the second anniversary of Katrina. Watch film and read reports of who Plenty is currently helping return to their homes.
