"We can't all do great things, but we can all do small things with great love." - Mother Theresa
At Peaceful Hearts Dolls we believe in giving back. We appreciate that people want to share our dolls, so we share that good fortune with others. For every doll sold on the website $5 is donated toward a cause for peace or to help people in underdeveloped countries take steps toward a more secure future.
Currently we are supporting KIVA. Kiva’s mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty. They are the first person-to-person micro-lending website. Rather than donating your money, you lend it to the individual entrepreneurs you choose. Check them out at www.kiva.org . We recently donated toward a loan for Tita Regina Anong, a widow with six children in Camaroon.
Here are some other terrific sites to visit:
Tom's Shoes
www.tomsshoes.com
Purchase an inexpensive, stylish, and comfortable pair of Tom's shoes and a pair will be donated to a child in need.
Free Rice
www.freerice.com
Improve your vocabulary and make a donation at the same time. Participate in the vocabulary test and for every correct answer you select 20 grains of rice will be donated. What??? Only 20 grains per word? Hey! It really adds up! Take a look at the statistics on the site and see just how much rice has been donated. Then ask yourself if you know the definition of the word "neologism". It's addicting!
Women for Women
www.womenforwomen.org
Studies have shown that when improverished women are given the opportunity to improve their lives the entire community benefits. Make a $27 monthly donation to one woman and impact many lives at the same time. If you prefer, you can make a one-time donation, but if you choose the monthly route in no time at all you will not even miss the money in your account. But many others will notice and appreciate it.
