5 Ways to Get Involved with Orant
how US supporters can help build stability for the poor
Orant is a global community effort. The success of our programs is dependent on the dedication of our employees, donors, and volunteers. We share a calling to stand with the poor and we believe in a notion of community that stretches across the world. Want to know how you can get more involved with Orant? Check out some opportunities below.
1. Organize a Vitamin Drive
In poor communities in Malawi, diets are often not diverse. This means people aren’t getting the nutrients they need to thrive. Prenatal vitamins are especially imperative to ensure the good health of babies. If you’re interested in running a vitamin or prenatal vitamin drive in your community, reach out to us for more details!
2. Host an event with your friends and family
Help us expand our community by spreading awareness. Host an outreach event. Turn your birthday party or holiday party into a charity event for Orant. Do you attend a regular book club, bible study, or volunteer club? Get in contact with us to schedule an Orant Representative to attend your event, facilitate dialogue, and share information about our work. We love connecting with like-minded big-hearted change-makers.
3. Do you own, manage, or work at a restaurant or bar? Host a Giveback Night!
Make your values known by showing that you pay it forward. Designate a percentage of your profits for the night to Orant. We would love to work with you to create promotional materials for your Giveback Night.
