Learn how you can put your purchasing power to work to contribute to the UN Millennium goal to end extreme poverty.
Peter Young, founder of Buying2Give.com and international collaborator to fight extreme poverty, speaks about how you can use your purchases to contribute to the UN Millennium Goal to end extreme poverty. Buying2Give is a purchasing community that contributes 90% of gross profit to world community causes, 50% to the purchaser’s choice and 40% to the Bottom Billion Fund to address extreme poverty through micro-finance. The average American household spends $14,350 on what are considered non-essential products. If only a small percentage of this is purchased through BuyingtoGive, a significant dent can be made in worldwide communities and on extreme poverty.
In addition to his most recent work to develop Buying2Give.com, Peter, “Pappy,” has also collaborated on a number of international programs to help lift people from poverty. These include HyperStudy.com to help international students with their education, and EdMedia.com for the colleges to promote their international studies programs. The GLOW (Global Learning on the Web) project inspired OrphanIT which was formed with 120 orphans who were found on the rubbage dumps of Manila. These youth were trained on the computer and Internet and now actively working as outsourced Search Engine Optimization and website development.
As an out-growth of these activities, the website and charity SolvePoverty.com was created to support social entrepreneurship through mentoring and helping with micro-credit. Visiting the website provides you with a button to click and help contribute funds without costing you anything.
