In a world where every man fights for himself first, philanthropists like Fuller may stick out like a sore thumb. The very phrase “non-profit organisation” may feel like an oxymoron, and an illogical business model doomed from the onset. But with more than 10 million non-profit organisations established worldwide, there has to be a reason why so many people continue to work towards the good of others, and not just themselves. 

The Global Donors Forum (GDF) has recognised and addressed the implications of the new tariffs, highlighting the potential for increased living costs and trade tensions. They stress the role of NGOs in responding to such challenges; instead of avoiding the situation, they are doubling down to advocate for strategies that support affected communities and promote resilience in the face of economic disruptions.  

At the Patatas, we remain committed to our vision of unlocking students’ potential in rural and underprivileged communities. We hope that individuals and organisations will continue to partner with us to bridge the digital divide in education and raise up students who are rooted in values of community care and generosity, who will go on to make a difference to their society. We understand the importance of education in moulding the minds of future generations and believe that it is the key to creating a better world.

Politicians, administrations and policies will always come and go. What matters is what we choose to do for what we believe in, undeterred by whatever is going on in the world. The individual must continue to rise up and keep looking for others who share the same vision.

If you are keen to sowing into a world that looks out for all its citizens, regardless of opportunity or country, why not consider a partnership with us today?
