what is 001?
001 is a small non-government organisation based in Australia. We work in places where social and economic disadvantage are high. We provide funding to turn local ideas into sustainable projects and we do this by supporting locally based charitable organisations as well as by supporting micro-enterprise development.
001's core belief is that local people living in these provinces can best assess their own needs. We listen to them and respond by funding achievable and sustainable projects.
001 is managed by a volunteer committee and all fund raising activities for 001 are project specific. This means you are assured that your money goes directly to the project you have selected.
Why 001?
The HTV-001 was one of the first projects we supported, and it’s how we got our name. The HTV-001 is an innovative, locally-made, combine-rice harvester built in Sri Lanka. The project represented the aspirations for 001 – the idea was locally developed, funding was project-specific and the project was a success.
