The following sites are part of the GreaterGood Network run by CharityUSA.com. The GreaterGood Network is a family of online activism sites that harness the power of the Internet to help people, animals, and causes in need.
- TheHungerSite.com is dedicated to the eradication of world hunger. About 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger-related causes. This is down from 35,000 ten years ago, and 41,000 twenty years ago. Three-fourths of the deaths are children under the age of five. To date, more than 300 million visitors have given more than 500 million cups of staple food.
- TheBreastCancerSite.com is dedicated to funding free mammograms for women in need. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2007, 178,480 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 40,460 will die this year. One woman in eight either has or will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. In addition, 2,030 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 450 will die this year. If detected early, the five-year survival rate for breast cancer exceeds 96%. Mammograms are among the best early detection methods, yet 13 million U.S. women 40 years of age or older have never had a mammogram.
