Life is extremely tough for the world's poorest people, but we have it in our power to change this. Giving What We Can is a society whose members have seen how stunningly effective international aid can be, and have made a pledge to give at least 10% of their income to help those in the most need. We are curerntly in the process of setting up this website to provide an excellent range of resources regarding poverty, aid, and development, helping everyone to see how they can most effectively make a difference. We also offer a friendly challenge to join us in making a long-term pledge to give. We hope to officially launch the site and the society in early 2009, so if you are interested, bookmark it for now and check back later.                What we will offer: A network for givers Ratings of aid organizations Refutations of aid myths Essays on poverty and aid The major poverty reports Development news Enquiries can be sent to: contact@givingwhatwecan.org
