Adrienne and Anthony's Wedding: THAF: A Very Special Organization with A Very Important Purpose

A few months ago, we decided to select a charitable organization to be apart of our gift registry that would allow us to use our wedding as a way to support others in need. We heard about the Tropical Health Alliance Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit org that provides medical services, education, and poverty reduction tools to developing communities in Ethiopia. After learning about the various projects that THAF provides, we knew that we had found the right organization.

We chose THAF because of their focus on global public health and self-sustainability. Not to mention, 100% of all proceeds go to fund their projects. And so, we have teamed up with THAF and its founder, Dr. Larry Thomas, in proposing an innovative way for us, our family, and our friends to help struggling communities in Ethiopia.

Their Safe Water Project focuses directly on providing access to safe, potable water, which is very important considering every 9 seconds a child dies of water-born related illness in the world. Another major project, the Safe Birth Project, focuses on providing maternity services, primary medical care and health education for pregnant mothers.

At the end of this posting is you will find a link to THAF's website, which we welcome you to check out for more information and for ways to help. When you come to our wedding in a few weeks, we will have packets with literature on some of THAF's projects and donation forms if you would like to make a contribution. (All donations are tax-deductible.) We look forward to seeing all of you at the wedding in a few weeks. We're really excited!
