A few weeks ago I read and was intrigued by an article about micro-giving. Much like micro-lending, the point is small sums of money adding up to do big things. With micro-giving, you ask people to give small donations, $1, $5, $10, etc. The key is getting a lot of people to give a little.
After a bit of research and in honour of my forthcoming birthday, I ask for your help in raising money to repair a water well. I’ve corresponded with a woman at Charity:Water and they will try to have my money go towards a well in Malawi. The picture on my giving page is a photo that I took in Mindanti, Malawi. A village that was having a water well built while I was visiting.
I was not sure that the page with Charity:Water would be ready in time so I started a giving page on my Facebook page. For those that gave money through Facebook, I’ve matched that donation in this project - doubling your effort.
