I am happy to say that our team is off to a productive start in 2011. Wes and I both traveled to Nicaragua last month to pursue new technology opportunities and connect with our Nicaragua staff. This team is doing great work day in and day out, providing livfe improving technologies to rural families across Nicaragua. As a result our local operations are thriving and our team is growing. In the US, our Board of Directors and our Development Team have been energized by the addition of new members. Look for more updates coming soon from the EOS Team.

We would like to share a summary of our activities and progress from last year. Attached is our annual report for 2010 highlighting progress achieved as well as information about finances, new faces, and new products that EOS has begun to promote. This was a record year for EOS in terms of people reached, products installed, and funds raised. Most importantly, we were able to establish a sustainable presence in Nicaragua with the hiring of Alvaro Rodriguez, our Country Director.

Thank you for your continued support as we work together to improve livelihoods with appropriate technology.

EOS International will consider its mission a success when the people of Nicaragua no longer live under the burden of poverty.

The 20×20 Project has officially concluded and I am thrilled to report that through the generosity of our supporters we were able to raise $3,280 from 132 donors! This amount far surpassed the $2,000 goal we had initially set and could not have come at a better time. Plastic bladders, the most important part of the biodigester, recently went up in price. This price increase caused our initial estimate of $2,000 to be insufficient to fund the project. The extra $1,280 that our supporters donated will allow us to keep our commitment to the people of Nicaragua and fund all 20 biodigesters!

I cannot thank you all enough for your response to this initiative. The World Health Organization estimates that nearly 1.3 million people, mainly women and children, die each year as a result of respiratory problems from the smoke created by dirty, wood burning stoves. The 20×20 Project may not make a huge dent in that number, but when you are dealing with a life, saving just one is a huge step to someone.

Keep an eye out for updates on the implementation of this project through emails and facebook!

Again, thank you for your support. $10 can make a huge difference.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

-On behalf of the EOS International Staff and Board, Joe Lamusga – Finance Director

EOS International announces a new initiative, The 20 x 20 Project. We want to fund 20 biodigesters in Nicaragua by May 20.  A biodigester is a simple technology that converts animal and organic wastes into biogas and nutrient-rich liquid fertilizer. The biogas can be piped to a simple gas cooking range and used as fuel, while the fertilizer can be put back on crops to increase yields.

We can reach our goal by bringing together 200 people who are interested in helping out and willing to chip in just $10.

$10 apiece on 20 biodigesters = $2000 and 200 people making a huge difference!

Click on the link below to donate $10.  May 20th is closer than you think!
