Dear Australians, we have a Federal Government who have been matching dollar for dollar every individual East Africa famine donation to selected NGOs during October and November. This is amazing! If you give $20, the government will turn that into $40. If you give $50, the government will turn that into $100. $400 becomes $800. $2000 becomes $4000. You get the picture. HOWEVER, it ends on 30 November 2011. So we only have 24 hours left to donate. Click here for a list of places to donate.
We may not hear about it much in the media, but the need is massive. Some 13 million people are directly effected by the drought, famine and conflict. Read more about the situation here.
If you haven’t yet donated, act fast! This is an amazing opportunity to leverage your personal wealth and the wealth of our nation for those in desperate need.
Here are 4 ways you can donate:
- Anglican Aid – I’m an Anglican minister, so I went through our Archbishop’s Oversees Relief and Aid Fund. Anyone is welcome. They have some great work happening in Kenya. Give now.
- World Vision – these guys are doing amazing work on the ground throughout the Horn of Africa. Worth checking out.
- Aus Aid – check the government website for all 19 NGOs that are approved for the dollar for dollar initiative. Go crazy.
- A night of prayer & song for East Africa – Trev Hodge is leading this event on Wednesday night 30 November in Sydney. All money raised will likewise, be doubled! Check the facebook event for deets.
Do something now. Hurry. Go.
Peaceout, Dave.
