What now?

Maybe this water project didn't stir you. Maybe the problem of clean water isn't the issue that breaks your heart or makes you mad. Even so, I hope this month's project has woken up the vision within you to be part of the change that our world needs.

If so, here are other great organizations worth considering partnering with as you look to make a difference:

Compassion 
A child advocacy organization through which you can sponsor a child, providing for their physical, spiritual, economic, and social needs. All with the goal of breaking the cycle of poverty.

World Relief
With the mission of standing for the vulnerable, World Relief provides humanitarian aid and is involved in community and economic development.

Operation Christmas Child
It's so simple: a shoe box filled with gifts sent to a needy child who wouldn't otherwise get anything for Christmas. Love in action.

The Traveling Team
Sharing God's love of the world with college students and providing them with the resources they need to change that same world.

The A21 Campaign
Join the fight against human trafficking.

To Write Love on Her Arms
A nonprofit dedicated to helping those struggling with depression, suicide, self-injury, and addiction.

Women for Women International
Sponsor a woman who has survived war rebuild her life by providing financial and emotional support.

beremedy
Connects those with immediate needs with those who want to give via social media.

Kiva
A microfinance organization which connects people through lending to help end poverty.

Changing the world can be as simple as shopping at a different place. For those of you who wish to add value to the money you spend, here are some sites where your purchases mean more than just an exchange of goods:

Toms Shoes
For every pair of shoes purchased, a pair of shoes will be donated to a child in need. One for one.

WorldCrafts
A fair trade nonprofit which supports artisans around the world so that they can thus support their families.

Out of Print
Love classic literature? Love clothes? For every piece of clothing purchased, a book will be donated to a child in Africa. (My Pride and Prejudice shirt is delightful!)
