In a time of financial distress and economic downturn everyone around the world is feeling the changes to lifestyle. This month 12for12k.org teams with MomItForward.com to bring opportunities to Kenya through Yehu.org. Rather than just give money at a fundraiser or spend a few hours volunteering at a community, these two organizations are working in unison to bring a little entrepreneurial spirit to the people of Kenya. By offering your dollars to 12for12k.org you are helping provide funds through Yehu.org, a microfinance organization. The money goes to support small businesses and the people that look to build their own life to get out of poverty and create a sustainable life for their family and communities in Kenya.
Who is 12for12k.org? It's an organization using social media, social networking and the PR of people to raise funds for different charities every month. This month the chosen charity is Yehu.org. The concept is sweet and simple: 12 months, 12 different charities, $12,000 per month based on minimal donations of $10 per month per user! There is no sign-up or obligation, just plain and simple giving on the website every month knowing it will benefit a different charity every month. The voice of 12for12k.org comes from the people that give and the use of social media to spread the word in your networks.
Who is MomItForward.com? They are an organization of women out to "change the world one mom at a time" by being active in communities. There are online meetings on Twitter, social activities, fundraisers, blog activities and more that bring moms together to improve socially, personally and within their community.
Join me in helping support 12for12k with this month's partner MomItForward and charity Yehu.org.
