Donate or simply support Charity - Introducing #Charityweekly
Introducing a new tag
By #charityweekly I wanted to start a new initiative or challenge I would get your feedback on. We all love the fact we can earn a little bit crypto currency or call it additional money by posting here on steemit. Some big accounts earn a lot, but the majority is fighting for Cents. This is usual "business" life - however there are people really in need and there are initiatives that try to support poor people. What would happen if we all give 5% of our rewards here to a charity? There are not many certified charities here - I even think there is no way to certify them. I know one charity that is doing terrific work in south Africa and is happy for every single Cent they receive to help people in real need. If we can get a list of all charities that are proven to be trustworthy and support them directly with donations or esteem / upvotes the world might be a bit better at least.
Join the tag once a week (by choosing 50%-50% payout option)
I am aware we can not force anyone to do this but if you feel a need to help others suffering from hunger or lacking accommodation consider at least helping. A Resteem or Upvote can help, a donation even more. At least try to check out some of the charity accounts on steemit and follow them.
My charity of choice as I know them since some years is @papilloncharity - I will at least do one post per week with 50-50 payout and donate a minimum of 10% liquid rewards to them - I will probably donate more than 10%.
Is anyone in for an ongoing program let me know below or on steemit.chat. If we have enough I might create a dedicated charity account. Also let me know other charity organisations you know of.

Stephen who run the charity is sincerely appreciating your help.
I love @Papillion! Upvoted and Resteemed
Upvoted and resteemed :-)
Bin ja auch ein grosser Fan des" Weekly fruits for children"- Programms :-)
Danke Dir - hast Du nen Typo entdeckt? Stehe auf dem Schlauch :-)
Nein auf den ersten und zweiten Blick nicht. Sieht doch alles ok aus.
gut, weil du "childrean" schriebst :-)
Hihi. Da hast du natürlich recht. Danke.
So amazing, I also run a charity on steemit and I have big plan for underprivileged children education in Bangladesh. After 1 year struggling on other social media, I find Steemit is best for sharing my humanitarian work. We are promoting weekly fruit program , fundraising campaign .
and has many other social awareness articles on Education. This blockchain taught us nothing is centralized and we can take part of anything from anywhere even not donating current Money. SO, Many of my school supporter on steemit wrote article about it after internet research and contacting me for more information.
I must help the cause you brought to us by upvote and resteem ! May Allah help the foundation to change lives in Africa.
Great idea Uwe! Upvoted and resteemed
You are a noble person. I support this idea, it's wonderful!
Thanks for supporting - I am far away from being noble I just want to create a bit awareness - hope some whales will support @papilloncharity - there are so many options everyone can by little effort I hope.
Wow this is such a beautiful idea. I hope this initiative does get some backing from big people and that we are able to help many people across the world. i wish you the best of luck with the project @uwelang
