Total Objects was founded by Jim Barry and Larry Sullivan, President of the COINS Foundation. Both founders firmly subscribe to the view that those of us who live in the west are privileged and therefore have an obligation to help those in the developing world. Staff and Clients at Total Objects are passionate and regular supports of the COINS Foundation primarily through their annual Dragon Boat Challenge event. Last year Total Objects and their supporters raised over £20'000 which is supporting the development of Micro-financed health insurance and other micro-financed enterprises in South and East Africa. This year contenders at the event have pledged £30'000, which given the economic climate is truly fantastic.
