"I'd love to see more young people taking action to help the poor and disadvantaged. Two places to get started are Network for Good and Global Volunteer Network."

Working in 10 countries across 3 continents to create sustainable change.


Project of the month

Each month, we help one of our partner organizations fundraise for a specific project by featuring them as our Project of the Month. For May, we have teamed up with Hidden Baby to create the perfect gift - a beautiful handbag for a great cause!

This month, with the help of Hidden Baby, we are supporting abandoned babies in Kenya. $30 from each bag will be donated to Happy Life Children's Home who rescues, cares for, and gives hope to abandoned children. So spoil yourself, your mom, or someone special and know that you are changing lives.
