Our motivation for creating this page stemmed from the knowledge that a lot of people (ourselves included) experience “cause fatigue”. We’ve heard of some people feeling so overwhelmed by the proliferation of organisations asking for help that they are paralyzed into indecision, never moving beyond the idea of making a difference. Ideas alone are not very meaningful, though, if they remain ideas.
So we decided to bring together the best in one place. Under each link below you’ll find an introduction to the field and reviews of each organisation with links to their sites.
Change is simple. Take one action, however little it may seem. Take more if you like, but one is fine. Don’t be afraid to shout it from your rooftop or your laptop. Don’t be afraid to stand up for the truth, for what you believe in. Share this with friends or colleagues and let them know you’re making a difference. Ask them how they’re making a difference.
We were planning to write one field for volunteering, but we feel it’s been said in the Guide to Volunteering and rather than repeat ourselves, you can download it right here: http://www.g-lish.org/ghana-volunteer-guide.
If you have a story of community involvement, or a top-level organisation you know and recommend, please share it with us and let’s go sanely MaD together.
