I've prevaricated on this all year. But finally got round to doing it. I've been doing Deki loans personally for some time and enjoy being able to loan small amounts of money to budding entrepreneurs in other parts of the world.
I'm now going one step further. I'm now a proud member of B1G1 an organisation set up by Masami Sato in 2007 and chaired by Paul Dunn. Paul is an amazing entrepreneur with his roots in the accountancy sector.
From today, every email I send or reply to from my desktop computer will provide clean water to one person in Malawi, for a whole day.
Had I started this at the beginning of the year 3,692 micro-impacts would have been made :-
- January = 625 people would have been helped
- February = 550 people would have been helped
- March = 647 people would have been helped
- April = 637 people would have been helped
- May = 414 people would have been helped
- June = 819 people would have been helped
Yes, I've been lazy. But now that's been corrected.
I won't bore you with all the details of B1G1 here, you can read about them at http://www.b1g1.com and I would encourage you to think about how you can help in the same way. Or read more about how your email could make big difference at https://www.b1g1.com/buy1give1/content/email-impact
