How you can help Japan on betterplace.org

It’s been a while since we updated you in English what has been going on on betterplace.org lately. Sorry for that – we have been very busy!

I guess everybody of you is informed through the news: Japan is affected by an earthquake, a tsunami and is probably facing a nuclear disaster. Everybody on betterplace.org have been pretty busy in helping the victims affected by this disaster. Therefore, our campaign page is dedicated to Japan – you can help, too!

On that page you see a stream of donations coming in for the people in Japan. A lot of people have already helped. On the right hand side you can see which companies teamed up with betterplace.org to help out – they started their own fundraising event for Japan and motivated employees and customers to help. Among those you can find big names like ebay, Microsoft, Mitsubishi, PayPal and many more.

In the middle you can see which organizations are currently collecting donations for the Japanese people. Three well-known organizations are teaming up: CARE Germany, Save the Children Germany and The German Red Cross.

Besides this, various individuals felt obliged to help and started fundraising events for Japan. They spread the word among their friends via E-mail, Facebook and Twitter and everybody chipped in to help Japan. You can start a fundraising event too. No matter if you are a individual or if you are collecting donations with your company – don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions!

By the way: we already collected 325.000 Euros for Japan! A big thank you goes out to all you guys who chipped in! Do you want to help Japan? Donate now!
