Back when I interviewed Wendy from eMoms at Home, she said one thing which really struck me. She said that she donated a percentage of her profits to Kiva.org. I thought this was a commendable gesture and vowed that one day if I ever started making money off this blog myself I would also do something worthy.

Well that time is now.

I don’t make much; what I contribute can’t really compete to what other businesses, and enterprises, and wealthier individuals could. Nonetheless, I fully believe that contributing something, doing something, is better than nothing. Too long have people been scared or influenced by naysayers that we can’t make a difference. That, pardon the language, is balls.

My trouble is that there are literally hundreds of charities I would love to help. Hopefully I will, too - in time.

This page will be a kind of tally-board which I will update irregularly; for my own motivation, and perhaps yours.

We can make a difference if we try.
