Six Months & A New Initiative

One Day's Wages is...

a movement of
people, stories and actions
to alleviate extreme global poverty. 

Some highlights of the first six months:

  • We awarded our first grant to a small Community Based Organization (CBO) in the Thailand/Burma border that provides education to over 6,000 migrant students.
  • We surpassed our $100K goal for our Haiti Relief Fund and our partners' important work in response to the earthquake.
  • This company was our the first business to partner with us - with the goal of donating $60,000 to ODW and helping provide clean water for 3,000 people over 20 years.
  • This musician was the first artist to partner with us by donating 10% of his new album royalties to join our movement.

And introducing, a new initiative - Causes:

As we continue to move forward with our vision, we're excited to share with you our new initiative. We invite you to create a cause campaign: Birthday for a Cause, Work for a Cause, or submit your Idea for a Cause. They are so simple but yet, they will have a dramatic and global impact!
