OUR MISSION:
Iduka’s mission is to promote college affordability by connecting students with micro-donors and community service organizations through a web-based interest free micro-loan program.
Our program has two major components:
1. Micro-loans - open to all students that meet our basic criteria; and
2. Grants - available only to underserved students.
HOW DO WE DO IT:
1. We assist students getting interest free micro-loans up to $3,000.
2. We help underserved students convert their micro-loans into scholarships.
3. We provide volunteer opportunities for underserved students who opt to "work off" their micro-loans.
PROJECT STATUS:
We are currently running a pilot project targeting underserved students in FL and PA, but plan to expand the program to other parts of the country and the world.
HOW CAN YOU HELP:
1. You can spread the word by inviting your friends to take part in our campaign to help underserved students. To be able to cover the entire nation, we need members in every COUNTY of every STATE.
2. You can join our facebook cause at http://www.causes.com/causes/443172.
3. You can also get involved by volunteering your time and expertise in a variety of capacities. WE DESPERATELY NEED MORE "IT" VOLUNTEERS TO HELP OUR WEB DEVELOPMENT TEAM PUBLISH THE STUDENT PROFILES ONLINE. If interested in joining our team, please e-mail us at: iduka.volunteers [at] gmail.com.
Thank you in advance for your support!
The Iduka team
