We hear it all the time – so much poverty, so many people that do not have even the basic opportunities, and there’s nothing that just one person can do about it. What if that was wrong?   What if you could feed a child for just 25c? If you did that every day for just a week you would save their life. If you did that for every day for a month you change their life.   Extraordinary Ones has collaborated with the most effective organisations feeding and educating children in the world today, and between us we can feed and educate a child for just 25c. That’s probably less than the loose change in your pocket!   All we need is you, and the effort it takes to click a couple of times and contribute that 25c. Then between us ...

Feed a Child Every day
 Posted at 10:38:02 AM on Dec 08, 2008
Hi Ian,
Thank you for your comments. First of all I believe the main thing is that we all do something, rather then charities being in competition with each other. Choose what matters to you most.

In my post above I talk about FACE, feed a child everyday. The money goes to causes who feed children in education. We select causes in effective giving which stands for empowering people and really creating a solution. Education is the real way out of poverty.

On the FACE application you can feed a child everyday, as simple as that for now extra cost.

The Extraordinary Ones website is a brand for social responsibility where you give back via the purchases you make. XO is in Beta at the moment. As a consumer you give back by buying from our business members and by becoming an individual member you become part of our loyalty scheme where you get great offers from business members where a part of the offer will go to our selected causes.

There will not be a shop on our website, you will buy direct from our business members.

We seek out great causes which really empower people to come out of poverty. XO is a great idea and we are talking to organisations like Oxfam to colaborate as we have a new way of giving back. together we can do so much.

So if you have any great connections please let me know.
Enjoy,

Leon.
