I have $100.00
1. Medshare is an organization that bridges the gap between medical surplus and need. For $100 they can send 2 Boxes of Hope filled with critically needed items like sterile gloves, syringes, pediatric scales, hospital beds and mattresses, centrifuges, computers, stretchers, incubators, stethoscopes, fetal monitors, nebulizers, and miscellaneous assorted medical supplies, among other items, as identified by the recipient hospitals located in 78 countries in the developing world.
2. $112 donated to Esparanca will provide chlorine to an entire village in Mozambique for one month. Click here to donate. Mozambique has been ranked the sixth poorest country in the world by the World Bank, and sewage systems frequently contaminate the clean water sources causing cholera to run rampant.
3. Shoes That Fit, founded in 1992 is an organization that provides shoes to children living in poverty so that they can participate fully in all school activities. Having a good pair of shoes boosts self-esteem and helps kids fit in. An impressive aspect of this program is that 100% of your money will directly benefit a child. And a donation of $100 will provide four children with new shoes. Just click on the Donate Now button on the home page to give your help--from the ground up!
4. Infrastructure. Unless you are an engineer it sure doesn't sound very sexy. But think about it. Do you have a friend or relative living in a rural area? Maybe you yourself are in a small town in the middle of nowhere. But, you can still get to these places, right? Now imagine last mile communities. These are places all over the globe that are far from urban centers and towns and are without sufficient transportation infrastructure to deliver necessary healthcare. You can have all to supplies in the world, but what happens if you can't deliver them? VillageReach works on going that last mile and providing access to healthcare for rural communities in developing countries. Click here to read more and make a donation.
5. Do you like music? Do you like kids? Do you think kids and music go together like P&J? Little Kids Rock is dedicated to bringing free musical instruments and music instruction to underserved schools across the country. Your donation of $100 could buy two guitars for a classroom. Remember, kids just want to [have] strum!
