Save Lives

Join the fight against malaria. Killing more than 700 children each day, malaria is also the #1 cause of death for pregnant women. Solutions to combat malaria provide a cheap and effective way to save lives. A $100 donation will provide 18 long-lasting insecticide nets to combat malaria.

Fight Poverty

More than 780 million people lack access to clean water, causing an estimated 3.4 million deaths per year. Help us provide water and other poverty fighting solutions today. A $100 donation will provide 33 people with clean water for a year and 165 children with deworming vaccines.

Save Souls

There are millions of internet searches relating to God and salvation each day. Help answer these questions by giving people access to the word of Jesus Christ and a network of online missionaries. A $100 donation will lead 243 people to voluntarily receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
