Hi, YouthActionNet Challenge, with support from Starbucks supports young people leading positive change in their communities.This Challenge, taking place between March 1 (12:00:00 EST) and March 31, 2010 (23:59:59 EST), offers participants the opportunity to raise money for the work they do all over the world. The three projects that raise the most money will receive additional financial prizes, provided by the Starbucks Foundation, of $2,000, $1,000, and $500 respectively. In addition, the project with the greatest number of unique donors will be awarded an additional $1,000.

All projects that raise a minimum of $4,000 from at least 50 donors will be invited to remain on GlobalGiving’s site. These projects will be eligible to continue receiving donations from the general public, private and corporate foundations through www.globalgiving.org.

SIDAREC has a project on GlobalGiving called 'Livelihood support for youth and women in slums' and thought it was an awesome idea that need your support. The best part is that you can pick exactly who and where you want to help. Your $20 and even $100 could go along way in helping young people in Nairobi slums start an income generating project. And with regular progress reports directly from the people working in the field, you can see exactly how much good you have helped accomplish.

Spread the word, and join me in supporting this great cause. Onyango

What Others Are Saying About GlobalGiving

" When people ask how they can help in the fight against poverty, there are a thousand good answers, from sponsoring a child to supporting a grass-roots organization through globalgiving.org " -- Kristof, The New York Times

" Though GlobalGiving's online marketplace for philanthropy, donors support causes ranging from education and the environment to health and human rights. Projects let donors know how it's going through regular updates -- so donors can see the results their contributions have enabled. " -- Fast Company

" It used to be that if you wanted to give and have an impact, people thought you had to be Bill Gates or Oprah Winfrey. But because of the way the technology works, you can be an 'ordinary Oprah.' If you've got $10 or $100 or $1,000, you can come and find a school in Africa to support, and you can get updates from the field to get responses to your support. " -- The Washington Post
