=No Woman No Life: An Island for Non-Profit Organizations= http://slurl.com/secondlife/NoWomanNoLife/156/210/24/

This island is designated for non-profit organizations. It's intended to provide a virtual presence for groups to share their work and encourage participation in their issues, causes, and campaigns.

Visitors can walk along a boardwalk, view photos and read about the various non-profit activities around the world. Many of the activities involve empowering woman by providing educational services, and resources such as seeds for gardens or textiles for weaving.

The island contains recreations of actual places, a marketplace for purchasing goods, tents, boats, and meeting areas.

One area of the island contains a reproduction of a real school and farm. The inhabitants of this Real Life village are survivors of the genocide that ended in 1994. All of the real buildings were built by the local people. Visitors can buy desks and chickens to support the real school and farm. Learn more about this project at [|Mabawa].
