Giving Tuesday
|November 27, 2018|
After the spending tsunami of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and even the less blatant wave on Small Business Saturday, today comes along: #GivingTuesday.
How are you giving today? Are there any places you’d like to recommend to your community of fellow readers here, to put their dollars (pounds, Euros, shekels) to work?
Reading is FUNdamental might be a good place to start.

Charity:water at charity water.org, using basic technology easily constructed and repaired, to provide clean, disease-free water to communities in Africa and Asia, primarily. For example.
Families without access to clean water in the Namayingo and Bugiri districts of Uganda spend almost two hours every day walking to collect dirty water.
Our Programs team recently surveyed 892 households here and found that women and children invest an average of 115 minutes each day walking, waiting, and collecting water.
115 minutes each day. 700 hours every year. A collective 29 days wasted.
