Kiva, Freercie, The Girl Effect.

Hello Bloggers, welcome to assignment #4, where I am collaborating with ;
Shahad, Zuhair, and Qavi.
Our blogpost, is about examples of diffrent charities online, where you can help donate to other people in the world.

Here are some examples ;

Kiva is an online charity where you can give loans to help entrepreneurs in villages, who need a start in their business.


This is how Kiva works;
1. on the Kiva website, there are thousands of profiles of people, which contain; their picture, and their reason for you to lend them your money.
2. you browse through the site, and select who you want to loan your money to.
3. Field Partners distribute the money, to who you lent your money to.
4. Over the course of time, the person you lent your money to, pays you back!

That's how Kiva works.

Free Rice
Free Rice, is an online charity where you can play a game by answering a few questions in a variety of subjects, and everytime you get an awnser correct, you donate 10 grains of rice through the World Food Programme.


You kill time and feed hungry people through out the world!
Isn't that great?

This charity is called 'The Girl Effect,' and this charity helps adolescent girls in poverty get a good start in life. When you donate, you help give girls an education, health care, protection against HIV and early pregnancy.



I bet you're all wondering why it's called 'The Girl Effect.' Well, did you know that out of 100% of children that don't go to school, 70% are girls! That's more than half! They deserve the rights as equal human beings, and given opportunity to healthcare, education, and a clean, developed enviroment.
