Governments and bureaucratic NGOs delay aid to establish top heavy systems that keep control from the neighborhood residents most affected by a disaster. But one small organization is a proven first responder.
Can-Do is built lean, no fat to drag down its efficiency in getting direct aid to desperate people. The founder Eric Klein doesn’t merely fund raise and process bureaucratic papers. He’s among the first responders on the ground himself.
Can-Do’s work in the poorest county in America assisted Lakota Sioux to pull themselves up from Federal systems that imprisoned and impoverished them for generations. A large community greenhouse and more self-help projects are up and running, even plans to use harsh Dakota wind for energy rather than staying dependent on the federally-granted power monopoly that uses reservation waters to generate power it sells back to the poor community at high prices.
In Haiti, Can-Do was among the first organizations delivering pure water, the most critical need, to devastated neighborhoods. Can-Do assists locals to organize, immediately relaying their priorities back to Can-Do headquarters to mobilize supplies so the people can recover and quickly begin to rebuild.
