Almost	

 half
 of the world	

over	

  3,000,000,000
          (billion)	

                                      people	



   live on less                     than $2.50 a day
and...



I never did anything
             about it

                        because...
I didn’t know it was that bad
I decided to explore
the issues	





  I found new causes I believe in
               at
25,000       of poverty
children die	

   every day
yet I never
        saved
                 a life
                 because




I didn’t think I could make a difference
So I let go of
 my assumptions

If I assume I
    can’t help 	

     then I
   never will	

       because a 2% diversion of Christmas
       spending would put $20 billion toward
       eradicating world poverty
Almost $1 trillion per year is spent
        on holiday gifts.

                    Less than 1% of that could
                   put every child in the world
                             in school



  yet it never
   happens
I never gave because I’m just one person
If everyone does	

nothing	

                 then	

nothing	

will change.	


             If	

Everyone
cares 	

        Then	

Everything
will change	



but...	

      That’s not logical.
Nearly 1 billion people

           entered the 21st century
             unable to read a book
              or sign their names.
I didn’t help
because I couldn’t afford to give
Some conceptions need to be destroyed.
        Slay the Sacred Cow.
          Think Creatively


  A little is better than nothing. 	



                    Everyone
                              can afford 	

                               to give 	

                            Something
But charities aren’t
 efficient anyways.
          Most of the money goes to
          overhead and salaries.
“what concerns me is not the way
    things are, but rather the way people
              think things are”-Epictetus, Philosopher


100%
of donations through

 go directly to the project of
                       choice
1.1 billion people in developing
                       countries


                have inadequate
                access to water
yet I’ve been too busy to give
So I reversed my viewpoint	



“You can’t see the good ideas in front of you by looking twice as hard at
                          what’s behind you” -Andrew Mercer, Innovator

              Online gifting at 	



             takes less than 5
         minutes to complete
And I couldn’t find a
cause I believed in
So I challenged the rules
                  and gave to a friend




There are almost 100
           projects in


 he can choose from
I changed the way I think.
made a donation, gave a gift, and changed the world.

           You can do the same
Our Mission
UEnd.org exists to inspire and empower North Americans to
refocus a portion of their Christmas spending towards
strategic and sustainable projects in the developing world to
help them eradicate poverty.
