nonprofit organization known as Mehaber has recently launched a web site and nonprofit initiative serving to empower disadvantaged people with vital resources to help them succeed in life.

PR9.NET October 02, 2006 - McLean, VA - A nonprofit organization known as Mehaber has recently launched a web site and nonprofit initiative serving to empower disadvantaged people with vital resources to help them succeed in life. The name "Mehaber" was taken from a native Amharic (Ethiopian) meaning "a social gathering." In an effort to accomplish its goals, Mehaber.com provides a centralized global meeting place where reputable philanthropic organizations and their hardworking supporters can receive well-deserved recognition for their important contributions to worthy causes.

"Through online visibility, it is hoped that individuals, business, or organizations visiting the site will be compelled to make a contribution in whatever amount or frequency to support these causes," says 25 year-old Mehaber.com founder Kifle Bantayehu. "In making a voluntary contribution, these parties may elect to become corporate sponsors and have their individual, business, or organization name displayed on the Mehaber.com website in appreciation of their support."

Mehaber is solely supported by the contributions of site visitors and currently seeks the support of corporate sponsors to facilitate charitable giving, it is hoped that this concept will be of assistance, and achieve the goal of promoting sustainable living among those who wish to help themselves, but do not have the means to do so. As such, Mehaber is deeply committed to ensuring that the charities that are requesting help from Mehaber receive the financial assistance to support their respective causes.

Unlike typical nonprofit organizations that focus on providing finances, Mehaber.com serves a dual purpose, concentrating on investing into the lives of individuals, while providing access to a free online forum where visitors may network and discuss topics ranging from fundraising requests, job/training opportunities and networking opportunities to international development. "While I am fortunate enough to have had access to a good education, shelter, and a loving home, it is through the great sacrifice of my parents in leaving their native homeland of Ethiopia to raise four successful children here in the United States that I am here today," Bantayehu explains.

According to Bantayehu, we are all global citizens who should strive to make a difference in the lives of others. "This is our world, and in essence, a shared responsibility," he says. "Life itself is a privilege, yet access to basic human necessities is a right."
