I just tried to donate €100 but it didnt process for some reason. It may take me a few days but I have been meaning to donate to an organization such as this for a while now.  Been very inspired by Asante and others and now this post too

I will commit to donating $100. Is it selfish to superstitiously hope that some of that karma will help change my own situation? Probably, but I'm gonna hope that anyway. The important part is the money going to a good place.

Metalfaith, PM me or we'll figure something out. Maybe I can just donate directly to the 168million website and get like a receipt or something?

Very good point. I am 100% cool with anyone doing their own personal donation. Seeing as this might actually get off the ground, I will try to do some more research on specifics. I would imagine there is some platform that wont charge money...

Only potential with donating directly is it's apparently hard to donate to them directly if you're a Usa citizen, Asante said you need a wire transfer, which is like $25(if i remember correctly). If we all donate at once I will cover that cost myself, but if we all need to pay for separate wire fees than that messes up everything. I am not trying to be in control, if anyone comes up with a better way to do this practically, Im all ears.

And as promised, I will match your $100 as well. Looking like we might get a little chunk of change going here! Exciting!

MALARIA KIT €29 (= $35)
contains 60 treatments for malaria with 25 test kits. this is a very cheap way to fast save a whole bunch of children under the age of 5. Its not a vaccine but a combination treatment based on artemisinins. Toss €29 in and save over a dozen toddler lives, thats very straightforward and emotionally satisfying. When they get malaria again, chances are that this time they will survive it.

4x JACKFRUIT TREE €25 (= $30)
these trees will each be planted by orphanages and community centers. jackfruit trees will start yielding fruit in 3 years and can live for 100 years. The fruits are ginormous (10-80lbs) but whats especially important is that each tree yields approximately 200kg (= 8x 50lbs bags) of seeds per year. The seeds can be roasted and snacked on, or ground to a flour, but they contain 38.3% carbohydrate, 17.7% crude protein, and 15.9% fat which basically means that the seed is as nutritious as fatty meat and thus, that one tree yields in seed alone the nutritional value of slaughteting about 6 goats per year, without having to keep, feed & heal goats, a tree is just a tree - a 100 ft high tree with roots right down to the aquifer. African Jackfruit trees are being praised as one of the best things against world hunger and also, are planted not just for food but because they are great trees against desertification, soil erosion etc. What you will see is that people will grow seeds and cutting of these trees so each tree will multiply itself and saturate the community with a rich source of fat, protein and carbs.
EXTREMELY cost effective and very Shroomery as we're a growing & propagating community.

This is a wonderful endeavor. 
I tried to make a donation on my own, but it didn't go through. Got a 503 error message. 
When you figure out how to organize the group funds I've got $500 to add.

Holy cock-a-doodle-doo thats is almost a complete water well of your own if you choose to spend it as such


That would be SUPER EPIC


With that pledge, if none of us backs out we are beyond Well #1 and close to Well #2, if Metalfaith is up for matching, if his cap's not reached, we got 2 and are up for Well #3

The US is making it easy for money to enter their territory but not to make it leave


We'll have to see what we agree on.
