LOOKING FOR IDEAS 💡🤓I want to do something unique with some of our money that isn’t only through a church. Around $1,000+USD per month.I want to be able to impact people in different countries we travel to more directly with a portion of our giving (more in person that online).This can really be impactful because of how powerful the USD is in most countries.What ideas do you guys have on how we could go about doing this?? 😙😙

Question

Accepted Answer

$1,000 will get someone through three or four years of university in Laos, and many people still cannot afford this and their only avenue is to work after graduating primary school.So $1,000 a month for a year is the equivalent of putting 12 Lao kids through four years of university each.

Answer

Start a fund that supports local entrepreneurs by providing seed capital for them to start their own businesses with focus on creating jobs.

Answer

Give $100 to 10 random person. Might impact you a lot more than you think. Especially in poor countries.

Answer

I know some Filipinos who were one laptop short of their dream online jobs. This can double their income (from about $5000USD to $10000USD per year). I've bought two laptops so far to empower people to work online as well as one so that a child could attend remote school. This is a pretty powerful return;  you could buy two good laptops per month with $1000 USD.

I’m all about ethical philanthropy. What about buying a computer and hiring out a single person to learn how to code, graphic design, etc. then get them on fiverr to pull in revenue. Then slowly grow it so that all proceeds go back to the workers. It’s more work but also more fun haha
