Global Challenge

Global Open Challenge is a project hosted by Global Giving where selected and invited NGOs can post approved projects for one month in an attempt to get some well needed funds. I have recently assisted Children's Chance in posting a project as part of my special work projects here to expand the use of communication technology within the area. This is not directly part of my project, as my project is concentrating on the District ICT, but in the evenings I have quite a broad range of friends now that I spend time with, and as much as I can; I share my skills. Most recently I have been helping many of them with blogs so they can actively share their projects and experiences with donors and other partners.

When Kenneth first showed me about the potential for him to post a project on this site as part of a one month challenge, I assisted in whatever way i could with editing and putting together the project information.

The benefit to small NGOs like Children's Chance is if they are able to achieve a set goal ($4000) of donations during this challenge period they can become a permanent member of the website and post other projects.

So if you can pass on this site, please do. If you have been looking to donate to projects like this (child school sponsorship) believe me it is as close to the ground as one can be. And I personally will be involved with Children's Chance in the selection and work with these children. This is just one of my side projects that I feel very strongly about here.
