A few organisations that foster powerful change! They all use Internet to connect you to their projects and the people. The old-school of 'post and stamps' for making change are soon to be gone as we become more connected then ever before..
kiva.org lets you lend money to a specific entrepreneur, empowering them to lift themselves out of poverty.
Acumen fund Seek to prove that small amounts of philanthropic capital, combined with large doses of business acumen, can build thriving enterprises that serve vast numbers of the poor. Investments focus on delivering affordable, critical goods and services – like health, water, housing and energy – through innovative, market-oriented approaches.
The Girl Effect One of every six people in the world is an adolescent girl living in poverty. That’s 600 million people – twice the population of the United States. Each one could change our world for the better, if given the chance.
