We all spin along on a big giant ball in the middle of a huge universe. We run here and there and everywhere; sometimes so busy we can't even think. But there are moments in our lives when we do have free time. These are the times when we are checking facebook or reading blogs(by the way you should read this one more), sitting in front of the TV, and staring into space. These are the moments when we finally have time. But is it time well spent? Do we really need to watch 4 hours of TV a day; that's 9 years of our lives. Maybe instead of wasting time, we could be changing the world for the better. That's what the 1% Club is doing.
The 1% Club is an online market place for development projects where one can directly offer 1% to a project of ones own choice. Basically it's a place where you can take an idea of helping someone and actually help someone.
"We are the first generation that has the knowledge and means to collaborate on a global scale. If all of us can write an online encyclopaedia (Wikipedia) together, than surely we should be able to solve poverty together!" —1% Club
There are 234 projects happening right now through the site.
A few of those projects are:
Sustainable Ecofishing Development in Acandi (South America)
Needy Youth Production & Skills Training in Masaka (East Africa)
Playground for Change 2 (Playground for Children) (Central America)
Schoolbooks for our new school in Petauke (Southern Africa)
The site is not just about donating money, it's about donating ones time, network, or knowledge. The 1% Club believes that anyone can make a difference and can take steps to make a better world for someone that needs a little help.
