CaringCrowd Highlights From #GivingTuesday’s #GTstreamathon
CaringCrowd.org, by Johnson & Johnson Global Public Health, is a sponsor of the Your Mark on the World Center and GoodCrowd.info.
On November 27, 2018, I hosted the second annual #GivingTuesday #GTstreamathon. We had five segments with CaringCrowd or people raising money on the platform. I am proud to be associated with CaringCrowd because its global health mission aligns so well with mine.
John Brennick, the co-founder of CaringCrowd joined me to talk about CaringCrowd and together we visited with two of the people who were raising money on #GivingTuesday.
First, Philemon Padenou joined us to talk about his work with Code to Hope. “Our mission is to fight poverty by giving future leaders the tools they need to empower their communities.”
Next, John and I visited with Stephanie Bowers, the founder of Jakes Diapers, an organization that provides reusable cloth diapers to mothers in the developing world who are often forced to make difficult choices between food and disposable diapers.
Later, I visited with Ethel Yang of Operation ASHA. Operation ASHA uses a data and technology-driven approach to deliver last-mile care to the world’s most vulnerable. OpASHA is boldly and rigorously tackling tuberculosis (TB), the world’s leading infectious disease killer, across India and Cambodia.
Finally, I visited with Joanne Chiwaula, the founder of African Mothers Health Initiative. “We are supporting home-based care for critically ill women after delivery and vulnerable babies in Malawi.”
Be sure to visit CaringCrowd.org and search for these organizations to find their current campaigns.
