wateraid

When Wateraid provides a community with ongoing and sustainable access to clean water and sanitation the net cost per person is $30. Over twenty five years (WaterAid projects will continue for the life of a community) the average cost to provide water per day is per day $0.0033. For 2c (the lowest amount raised per click) this equates to 6 days access to clean water and sanitation.


Oaktree

The Oaktree Foundation is currently raising money to help build schools in East Timor, one of the poorest nations in the world. $25 will cover the cost of opening up a full 7 years of primary school education for a child at one of the schools built by Oaktree and its partners in East Timor. This equates to $3.55 for one year of primary education for a child and 2c (the lowest amount raised per click) equates to 2 days of primary education.


oxfam

Oxfam supports self-help development projects in 29 countries around the world. Our small donation can help start a household vegetable garden to provide nutritious food to impoverished families.


Grameen

10 cents represents the daily interest that Grameen pays to finance $400 that it then lends to a poor borrower. Thus 10 cents a day can maintain a $400 loan for someone to start their own business and lift themselves out of poverty. Your click will raise at least 2c, enough to finance approximately $100 of that loan today.
