Save The Children

WWF

Originally the initials of the foundation stood for the “World Wildlife Foundation”. However the name changes to the “World Wide Fund For Nature” as the original initials, as it didn’t reflect on their original goals. The organization is an independent foundation registered under Swiss Law. WWF is the world’s largest and “most respected independent conservation organization”. The foundation is located in over 40 countries (offices). The first office was founded on September 11, 1961 in Morges, Switzerland. The main mission of the WWF is to decease the reduction of the planet’s natural environment. There are three main ways in which WWF hopes to accomplish in order to help its main goal. They include conserving the diversity in which is present in nature, making sure that natural resources are sustainable and to promote less wasteful consumptions.

Over the years, WWF has invested over $1,300 million in more than 11,000 projects in more than 100 countries. At one time, WWF runs 1,300 projects. To work on their projects they do have other organizations to work with; UN organizations, USAID, the World Bank, and many more. WWF’s projects are highly looked upon, as there are as many as 5 million supporters.

For the organization every dollar donated can help. For example $20 will buy 10 seedlings to replant forests located in Tanzania, $500 can pay for the mobilization of a community. More and more money can help buy equipment and resources that can be used to help wildlife around the world.
