Thanks for your support. Only together – literally – can we ensure the end of extreme poverty. I know there are so many worthwhile causes.

Let’s celebrate, support, and cheer on these efforts and the people behind them.

We’re not here to compete w/ others. We want to celebrate the work and efforts of so many different causes and the people and communities behind them. And so with that, I hope you can help support, cheer on, and even celebrate the work of One Day’s Wages.

The compelling aspect of ODW is that 100% of your donations (minus transaction costs) go to projects on the ground YOU CHOOSE to fight extreme global poverty. While we may not be able to fix the world, our investments can help change the life of a child, a mother, a father, a family, and even a village.

can you spare 3 minutes?

Thanks for reading my blog and for your support in so many various ways. It has been a huge blessing in my life. Thank you.

As some of you know, my family and I recently started a non-profit organization called One Day’s Wages. In short, ODW aspires to be a grassroots movement dedicated to ending extreme global poverty. We want to inspire people to simply donate one day’s wages (equivalent to about 0.4% of one’s annual salary) to the fight against extreme global poverty and to renew that investment – monthly, quarterly, and at the least, yearly (on their birthdays).

The compelling aspect of ODW is that 100% of your donations (minus transaction costs) go to projects on the ground YOU CHOOSE to fight extreme global poverty. While we may not be able to fix the world, our investments can help change the life of a child, a mother, a father, a family, and even a village.

Even if you are unable to give or choose to donate later, you can help us immensely by simply taking 3 minutes and registering/creating a profile on our website. This is an encouragement to us because it shows that you support our cause and movement.

Thanks again and feel free to forward this on…

With gratitude,
Eugene & Minhee Cho (Founders of One Day’s Wages)
