Freepoverty offers online quiz to raise funds
Howard Lake | 23 May 2008 | Blogs
FreePoverty.com is another variation on the click-to-give-for-free website, and specifically the quiz version of that site. It emulates FreeRice.com which enables users to ‘donate’ cups of rice for each word’s meaning they can guess correctly.
FreePoverty.com is just as good. Instead it enables users to ‘donate’ cups of water to help end poverty. All you have to do is stick a pin in an online map to indicate where a series of towns or cities are. Each correct answer can generate up to 10 donated cups of water.
So far the site claims to have donated the equivalent of 14,496,386 cups of water.
Of course, as with FreeRice.com and the Hunger Site and all the many similar sites over the years, the donations are paid for by companies who pay to advertise on these sites.
The site has been created and financed by Chung-Guk Kim and Mobatar S.r.l, his mobile advertising company in Rome.
I enjoyed this game and suggest you try it out.
