Changing Latitudes
Seeking to End the
Cycle of Poverty
Do you remember hearing about the devastation caused by the
7.0 earthquake in Haiti in January of 2010? Haiti was a third world country
before the earthquake and its people continue to struggle as the most poverty
stricken country in our hemisphere. Changing Latitudes
was instituted in 2011 by Amy and Mark Denicore and Schuyler Richardson, all of
Loudoun County, with the mission of raising awareness and funds for the less
fortunate. Changing Latitudes is different from other non-profits for three
reasons:
- 100% of donated funds go directly to help the less fortunate; no administrative, fundraising, or traveling expenses reduce the amount of the donated funds.
- There are no middlemen; all donations are hand-delivered to the intended beneficiaries.
- Changing Latitudes offers a helping hand, not a handout. All programs are designed to empower the less fortunate to help themselves.
To date, Changing Latitudes’
fundraising efforts have provided more than 151 scholarships to school children
and 11 micro loans to needy families. Loans range between $250 and $500 and may
be used to start new businesses or expand existing ones.
