CEE Basic Needs Project

What is the CEE Basic Needs Project?

The Basic Needs Project is a Central & Eastern European (CEE) Round Table initiative focused on funding high-impact international service projects that meet basic human needs — water, food, health, education, and housing. We want to encourage clubs in the whole region to contribute to international service inspired by Austria’s 90:10 model, where:

• 90% of charity work supports local projects.
• 10% supports global projects that create big change due to stronger purchasing power of their currency.

That small 10% can cover up to 90% of a project’s cost in developing regions — maximizing impact! So, let’s scale international service through the whole CEE region!
