What Can 1 Dollar Buy?


If you live in a developed country, 1 dollar won't buy you much. Though in developing countries, nearly 1 billion people live with 1 dollar a day.
The Hofstra University Hunger Project (HUnger Project)  has the mission of fighting global hunger by raising funds and awareness at Hofstra University. It is incredible how much you can help with few resources.
The HUnger Project is affiliated with the WFP and all proceeds are donated to the organization. Critics say, "Don't give a man a fish, teach him how to fish instead".
The WFP does a lot of crisis assistance (which saves thousands of lives), but it also supports educational programs in developing countries.


Education leads to development. By keeping children in school, you are providing them an opportunity for a better future.
It doesn't matter if you don't have much to help with; if you don't have 1 dollar to donate, give some of your free time and volunteer at a non-profit organization that helps your community. What is important is to do something because without realizing it, you might change someone's life.

"To be truly human one must work for the common good."
