Hey everyone,
I'm finally going to return to the William J. Clinton Foundation. This another branch of the foundation which was established in 2005. This uses the non-government sector to improve specific problems around the world, and, by so doing, it helps to build a more integrated global community of shared benefits, responsibilities, and values. Members of the CGI create pragmatic solutions to various problems around the globe. These problems are then solved through "commitments to action". So far, there have been 1700 of these which has raised $57 billion and helped 200 million people in over 170 countries. Examples of these commitments to action include the access to clean, safe drinking water for 12 million people, more than 10 million children have gained better access to education, and 33 million acres of forest have been protected or restored, just to name a few. There are many more, and this organization is doing a lot of good in the world.
As a side note, all information comes from http://www.clintonfoundation.org/what-we-do/clinton-global-initiative/, and ten percent of proceeds from this blog go to this foundation (hopefully more someday).
