Step 1: Get on your computer and visit Small Things Challenge
Step2: Click on the check to have Intel donate 25 cents.
The Small Things Challenge aims to raise awareness and money for two of the world’s most pressing challenges: increasing access to quality education and fostering economic development in emerging countries, such as Afghanistan, Cambodia, Haiti and Sudan.
Throughout the developing world more than 75 million primary age children are not in school; and at least 80 percent of humanity lives on less than $10 a day, according to data from the United Nations. While these issues will continue to challenge our world for some time, we can improve peoples’ lives through pooling surprisingly small contributions.
The Small Things Challenge encourages people worldwide to get involved and be part of the solution. Intel Corporation is working with three respected organizations, Kiva.org, Save the Children, and Global Giving to raise funds and deliver hands-on support in the local regions where help is needed most.
Every small, individual action can make a big difference, especially if millions participate. A small donation to Save the Children and Global Giving, combined with other individuals’ contributions, will provide thousands of primary school children in conflict-affected and developing countries the opportunity to attend school or receive a higher quality education. Or, a modest micro-loan through Kiva.org will give an entrepreneur a hand-up to start a new business and provide for his or her family.
I personally have loaned a small amount through Kiva and I am hoping to see more individuals to do so.
Thank you for all your help!
