Changing the World with Kiva.org

 Microfinancing is the little idea that's making a big impact to help reduce poverty www.kiva.org makes it easy for anyone to get involved. Founded and run by in impressive list of Silicon Valley celebrities, Kiva.org allows anyone to make a loan to an entrepreneur in the developing world. The businesses, like the loans, are small, but the impact is tremendous. Browsing the site you'll find everything from a grocery store owner in Cambodia, to a baker in the Dominican Republic.

Everyman is a campaign run by The Institute of Cancer Research to raise awareness and fund research into prostate and testicular cancer.

Male cancer affects men of all ages - fathers, sons, husbands, brothers and friends – and touches many lives. Around 37,000 men are affected by prostate and testicular cancer in the UK each year and this figure is on the increase, yet we still do not know why.

Prostate cancer kills one man an hour in the UK and is now the most common cancer in men; testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 15-44, however is 99% curable if caught early enough. Despite this, and the fact that it affects so many men in the UK, awareness is low and research into male cancer is severely under-funded.

In response to this The Institute of Cancer Research has set up the Everyman Centre, Europe’s only dedicated male cancer research centre, to investigate the causes of these cancers, and to improve diagnosis and treatment.
