As the month of June comes to an end, it’s my pleasure to announce Nuru’s latest partnership to you. We are now partnering with an organization called One Day’s Wages (ODW). The organization is really cool, and you should definitely check them out. ODW was started by a guy named Eugene Cho in 2009 in an effort to raise awareness and funds to combat global extreme poverty. He and his wife actually gave the entirety of their 2009 salary toward ending extreme poverty. Their goal is to see every person in the US give one day's wages (0.44%) of their annual income to end extreme poverty.
ODW has about 750,000 members on their facebook page, and Eugene and his organization have been getting a lot of press and exposure at conferences lately. Some of the other organizations ODW has partnered with include our friends at Charity: Water and Partners In Health.
We at Nuru are pretty exited about the $15k grant that ODW is raising for Nuru in an effort to empower 70 Kenyan farmers to lift themselves out of extreme poverty, but we are even more excited about working together with another top notch organization dedicated to working toward the end of extreme poverty.
