Worhty: having adequate or great merit, character, or value. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/worthy
Amnesty International: An independent non-governmental organization dedicated to the investigation, reporting, and prevention of human rights abuses around the world. AI is independent of any government, political ideology, economic interest or religion. It does not support or oppose any government or political system, nor does it support or oppose the views of the victims whose rights it seeks to protect. It is concerned solely with the impartial protection of human rights.
Habitat for Humanity: Habitat for Humanity helps to build thousands of homes in the US and abroad for people in need. The homes are built with volunteer labor, which brings the overall cost of construction down, providing affordable housing - these are not "give away" homes - they are made available to qualified applicants at affordable prices. You can donate money, or volunteer your time and labor. Though technically a religiously affiliated organization, they provide help and services to anyone in need.
Human Rights Campaign: The Human Rights Campaign is America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality. HRC seeks to improve the lives of GLBT Americans by advocating for equal rights and benefits in the workplace, ensuring families are treated equally under the law and increasing public support among all Americans through innovative advocacy, education and outreach programs.
Worthy Causes
Live Earth S.O.S.: Different than the other organizations, Live Earth S.O.S. does not want donations or volunteers in the traditional sense. What they want is for each individual to recognize that the little things matter. They want us to change our habits and our consumption. To pay attention to how what we do affects the environment. The mission of the SOS campaign is to empower individuals to change their consumer behaviors and motivate corporations and political leaders to enact decisive measures to combat the climate crisis. The message of S.O.S. is that everyone, everywhere can and must ''Answer the Call'' to solve the climate crisis.
Millennium Promise: A bold initiative to end world poverty by 2025. The Millennium Promise sponsors selected villages in countries with relatively stable governments and helps develop sustainable solutions to poverty, disease, and hunger by providing economic aid, education, health care, and by respecting the local people's right to self-determination. One of the sister projects is to provide bed nets to help curb the spread of malaria in Africa.
National Coalition for the Homeless: Their mission is simple: end homelessness. The National Coalition for the Homeless (NCH) engages in public education, policy advocacy, and grassroots organizing focused on 4 areas: housing justice, economic justice, health care justice, and civil rights.
