Next in our series of posts about new Charitocracy nominees, we have nominee Americares, nominated by donor Maggie. They have delivered $17+ billion in quality medical aid and innovative health programs to 164 countries, including the U.S., since 1979. You can find their web site here.

A few words on Charitocracy

Firstly, for newcomers: here's how it works. Donors pool their monthly contributions, as little as $1. The cause with the most votes each month wins the pot. No matter how much or how little you contribute, each donor at Charitocracy gets one vote. This is where charity meets democracy. So please share this post (see social sharing icons at top of post) and ask your friends to join us and vote! That's how we spread the word and, as a result, grow the monthly pot. The bigger the pot, the bigger our positive impact on the world!
