There are 5 pillars that are supported through adopt-a-village: water, health, alternative income and livelihood, clean water and sanitation, and agriculture and food security. The countries that are supported through adopt-a-village by the international free the children organization are India, China, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Sierra Leone, Haiti, Ghana, and Kenya.

Silicon Valley FTC's goal is to support India, China, Nicaragua, and Sierra Leone. In India, we will support education, in China, health, in Nicaragua, agriculture, and in Sierra Leone, water. We already have money placed towards a school in Rajasthan, India. With your help, we will help thousands of people all over the world.
It's not charity. It's sustainability.
