NetAid

NetAid "educates, inspires and empowers new generations of young people to fight global poverty throughout their lives. We are creating a movement of informed youth—tomorrow's leaders and voters—who understand the root causes of global poverty and are committed to ending it." 

"At the height of the Internet boom in 1999, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Cisco Systems joined forces to launch NetAid." 

Their three main programs include:
 * NetAid Global Citizen Corps: Empowers high school students in the U.S. to educate and rally their peers in efforts to end global poverty.
 * NetAid Global Action Award: Honors high schools students in the U.S. who take outstanding actions to improve the lives of the world's poorest people.
 * NetAid World Schoolhouse: Connects individuals and organizations to local projects that help the world's poorest children go to school and build brighter futures.
