Global Giving
GlobalGiving.org enables people to donate to grassroots projects; education, health, microfinance by connecting donors with community based projects that need support. Choose by topic or region, “Vocational Training for 100 Women in Pakistan” for example. Or, you might donate to Economic Independance for Women in Central America, where $25 will ‘help fund a loan and training for a poor, indigenous woman in rural Central America, enabling her to start a business, create financial security for her family, and break the cycle of poverty.’
A perfect example of how we can use the web to connect, share and support things that make really make a difference. Kudos to everyone over at GlobalGiving.org for facilitating truly positive change.
