In November, Let Your Moustache Grow for a Good Cause

The Movember’s movement is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the US and around the world since 2004. Each year during the month of November, men let their moustache grow to raise vital funds and awareness for prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men.

How it works? Once registered at www.movember.com, men start Movember 1st clean shaven. For the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.

Join the Mo-movement!

Fighting Poverty in Los Angeles

Did you know that Los Angeles is the homeless capital of the nation? That 1 in 5 of the children live there in poverty? That only 60% of the students graduate from high school on time? And that nearly 1/3 of the full-time workers earn less than $25,000?

United Way of Greater Los Angeles’s mission is to fight the roots of this poverty across LA by focusing on 3 interconnected areas:

- Providing affordable housing and healthcare 

- Helping students graduate from high school prepared for college and the workplace

-Offering job training and financial education

Want to help? You can give, advocate or volunteer. You can also sell and buy stuff on KarmaGoat, like this awesome Top Shop grey blazer!

85% will go to United Way of Greater Los Angeles.

HOW TO BUILD A SCHOOL IN 3 HOURS

What if anyone, with their friends, could raise enough money in 3 hours to build a school for children in need? According to Taylor Conroy, WE CAN. This genius 29-year-old philanthropreneur has created Ten in Three, a social micro-giving platform designed to raise $10,000 in three hours by getting 33 people to donate $3.33 a day for three months. The funds go directly toward building a school with Free The Children. Watch Taylor Conroy’s recent Tedx talk, very inspiring!

Recycling Cool Vintage T-Shirts for a Good Cause

Did you know that most of the t-shirts donated to Goodwill or the Salvation Army in the US - including some really cool ones - end up on the secondary market all around the world? In Kenya for instance. This is where Sean Hewens came up with his Project Repat, after sumbling, in the middle of a traffic jam, upon a guy wearing an awesome vintage t-shirt.

The idea is simple – unlock the true value of those shirts, usually worth only $1 on the secondary market, by bringing them back to the US and selling them online for $25 each. Then use the profits to support local nonprofit organizations active in the countries from which the t-shirts are repatriated. 

To learn more about this karmic initiative, watch their video.

Changing the World with a Pencil

The adventure of PoP began years ago with a simple question to a child encountered on the streets of India. “What do you want most in the world” asked Adam Braun, a student backpacker at the time. “A pencil” answered the child. Then Adam reached into his backpack and handed him a pencil. “A smile erupted and his eyes brightened. And I saw then the profound power and promise brought through something as small as a giving a pencil to just one child.”

After years of backpacking through more than 50 countries, handing out thousands of pens and pencils, he eventually decided to start an international nonprofit. A nonprofit that would build schools in the developing world, working with local communities, and also training young leaders to take action at home and abroad. A nonprofit that would try to create a better world through education and passion. In 2008, PoP was born.

So far, PoP has built 23 schools across Laos and Nicaragua. And another 10, including new schools in Guatemala, are underway. The PoP community has grown to more than 100,000 passionate people. Want to join the PoP movement? There are many fun ways to take action, one of those being to create a fundraiser page for you own school. The winning school of this school4all contest will receive a visit from Justin Bieber.
