A little money can go a long way, especially in the developing world. This is one of the main beliefs of the non-pofit group GlobalGiving. Two former top officials at the World Bank started GlobalGiving seven years ago. Mark Kuraishi and Dennis Whittle wanted to connect personal donors(捐赠者) to projects in most poor countries using the Internet. So far, the group has raised over five million dollars, mostly through its website: www.GlobalGiving.com . The money has paid for or helped finance about seven hundred projects around the world.
Joan Ochi is a spokeswoman(女发言人) for the Washingtom DC-based organization. She says donors can search the GlobalGiving website to find projects that interest them. Right now,for example, donors can give money to a program called “Reach the Unreached—Delivering Care in Africa”. This project provides nurses in Zimbabwe with motorcycles and safety equipment.Miss Ochi says the nurses can now provide better care and health services to more people,especially in rural areas.
GlobalGiving and about forty other non-governmental organizations help social leaders or small local groups recognize projects. After the projects are approved , Miss Ochi says a detailed description is added to the GlobalGiving website. Donors can give any amount of money to a project using different methods of payment. These include credit card, the PayPal system or a stock transfer. GlobalGiving also works with large companies and private foundations that support socially responsible giving.
Miss Ochi says about ninety percent of all donations to Global Giving go directly to the projects selected by the donors. The organization uses ten percent for operating expenses. GlobalGiving requires its project leaders to provide progress reports every few months about how the money is spent.

小钱能有大用，尤其是在发展中国家。这是不获利组织GlobalGiving 的主要的信仰之一.两个世界银行前任最高官员7年以前开始创办GlobalGiving.Mark Kuraishi 和Dennis Whittle想用使用因特网连接个人捐赠者到项目在里面最穷困的国家.到目前为止,这个组织主要通过它的网站:www.GlobalGiving.com .已经筹备5百万元以上。这些钱帮助或者直接付给了在全世界大约7百个项目。Joan Ochi 是Washingtom DC-based 组织的女发言人。她说个人捐赠者可以到GlobalGiving 网站查找使他们感兴趣的项目.例如,现在个人捐赠者把钱捐给叫“做到未能做到的—在非洲传达关爱”的一个项目 这项目向在津巴布韦的护士提供摩托车和安全设备。Ochi女士 说护士现在能为更多的人提供更好的照顾和健康服务,特别在农村里.GlobalGiving 和另外40个非政府的组织帮助社会领导者或小的本地组织确定项目.在项目同意了以后,Ochi小姐说在GlobalGiving 网站会有更详细的说明.个人捐赠者可以使用不同的支付的方法把任何数量的钱给一项目.这些包括信用卡,PayPal 系统,或股票转移.GlobalGiving 也与大的公司和私人的基金会合作，提供社会负责的供给。Ochi小姐说大约90%的捐赠直接去由个人捐赠者选择项目.使用10%的捐赠用于组织的开销.GlobalGiving 要求每个项目负责人第个月提供关于捐款花费的进度报告
