We all have a cause we care about - whether it's finding a cure for cancer, saving the environment, finding homes for abandoned pets or so many other worthwhile endeavors. But what we don't all have is the time or money to support these efforts as much as we'd like. So, what if we could raise money for our favorite charities and schools by doing something we do every day — searching the Internet?
There are a ton of charities to choose from so why not check it out?We all have a cause we care about - whether it's finding a cure for cancer,... more

Freekibble.com's primary mission is to provide good, healthy food to dogs and cats to those shelters who are working so hard to see that none of them go hungry - they need our help. We'll continue to provide free kibble to the Humane Society of Central Oregon and now we're expanding to add more shelters in need of free kibble.
Mimi Ausland, a 12 year old girl from Bend, Oregon, wanted to help feed the hungry dogs at her local animal shelter. "There are 10's of thousands of dogs in animal shelters across the country, all needing to be fed a good meal." Say hello to freekibble.com! And now it's time to feed the cats too! http://www.freekibblekat.com/

Olga Murray laughs when she's called a modern-day abolitionist. It is, however, a fair description.
This 82-year-old retired lawyer from California now spends half of her time living in Katmandu, Nepal, where she works to free child slaves.
"It's very difficult to think that in the 21st century, this is a practice," said Murray. But, she argued, "it's happening all over the world, and a lot of people don't know about it."
She is no tourist. She and her organization, Friends of Needy Children, have come up with a remarkably simple and successful method of liberating hundreds of young, female slaves.
For generations in Nepal impoverished families from the countryside have been selling their daughters to wealthy families where the girls, known as "kamlaris," are forced to do housework.
When asked why parents would sell their children, Murray explained, "It's not because they don't love them. It's like they have no choice. Sometimes it's a choice between selling their girl & and feeding the rest of their family."
The practice has become so widespread and socially acceptable that we were able to meet and interview slave girls and their owners.
According to the non-profit group Free The Slaves there are an estimated 27 million slaves in the world right now -- more than at any time in recorded history.

She is waiting in line for her monthly food ration...she is only ten years old.
With 40% of the population under poverty line, Iran is ranked 27th on the 'list of countries by percentage of population living in poverty' and more and more underprivileged individuals in Iran are turning to private nonprofit charity organizations for help.
Due to the number of people in need, most charity organizations can only afford to give each person less than ten dollars a month, along with some rice and vegetable oil.
What adds to the problem is the number of orphans who rely on these charity organizations as their only source of income and food. Sometimes these young boys and girls, such as the girl in this documentary, also have to find a way to feed their younger siblings.She is waiting in line for her monthly food ration...she is only ten years old.... more

This charity is working to bring clean water to the people living in poverty. It is a crisis that is killing as many as 50,00 children a day - the equivalent of 20 airliners filled with children lost everyday to an entirely preventable public health crisis, 1.1 billion lack access to clean water, 2.6 billion lack access to basic sanitation. It is a crisis driven by inequality and poverty, where the burden falls most heavily on women. It is girls who are denied an education because they are tasked with fetching water or drop out of school in adolescence because of inadequate sanitation facilities. And as adults, women continue to waste hours each day in the search for water and inevitably look after the children that are ill or dying from diarrhoeal diseases. It is a crisis that hampers economic growth and an entire generation.This charity is working to bring clean water to the people living in poverty. It is a... more

Half the world?s hungry people live on small farms. Farming is often their only option, even though many struggle to produce enough food to live on.
Our work on the ground shows that a small amount of help can dramatically transform the lives of the poorest farmers. Given the right support, they have the potential to grow their way out of poverty and hunger, but no one is listening to them. Will you?
