LACEWING FOUNDATION
Lacewing Foundation is an international non-profit organization dedicated to improving health and education for women and children.
Lacewing believes that good health and education are basic necessities crucial to creating positive change in the world.
Who We Are
Lacewing Foundation began in 2004 with the goal of identifying tools we could offer to women and children to help them improve their lives. We strive to help women around the world to be safe and Healthy and to be able to feed their children. We further seek to provide children and their families with quality education, nutritious food and safe water.
Lacewing Foundation believes that meaningful change can take place when people are provided with the right tools and opportunities.
THE LACEWING FOUNDATION IS COMMITTED TO HELPING SMALL, YOUNG ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE IN NEED OF FUNDS TO FURTHER THEIR MISSIONS. WE WANT TO GIVE A HAND UP TO THOSE NON PROFITS WHO PROPOSE A, ACHIEVABLE PROJECT PROVIDING HEALTH AND/OR EDUCATION TO WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN NEED.
WHY “LACEWING” FOUNDATION?
We often get the question,” What is a Lacewing?” Green lacewings are small, net-winged insects That are found all over the world. They are desirable because of their extreme ability to eliminate harmful insects from gardens and fields. Lacewings feed on both plants and animals. They are also very effective pollinators. We were very attracted by their ability to help gardens of all kinds grow and thrive. Their lacy wings are beautiful and very feminine as well. Hence, Lacewing Foundation.
Lacewing accomplishes our mission through a system of small grants to small 501c3 organizations who support some facet of women’s and children’s health or education in placesthat are underserved. We like to focus on helping smaller organizations grow while becoming
independent of our help over short time periods.
We are proud to share some of the many wonderful outcomes of our current projects. We support several scholarship and curriculum programs in Nicaragua, Mexico, Tanzania, and Cambodia. We also support healthcare projects through clinics, surgical centers and shelters globally.
Thank you for your interest and support of Lacewing Foundation.
Causes We Work For…
Hunger
Our goal is to help end hunger domestically and internationally by helping families access resources and learn to grow food sustainably.
Education
We focus on women and children in predominately underserved and rural areas around the world. We strive to provide them with the education and tools necessary to achieve greater self esteem, skill set success, and financial independence opportunities. We strongly believe that education is a pathway to a new life.
Human Rights
Our resources are directed toward the most vulnerable women and children. Particularly those who suffer abuses of all kinds and those who are victims of human trafficking and slavery.
Clean Water
We support entities that provide access to potable water via wells, pipelines and pumps.
This not only improves families health but also dramatically reduces collection time (sometimes as much as 6 hours per day) for women and children in developing nations. Thus giving them time to grow better food, start small businesses, and spend time together.
