Between November 23 and December 31, 2011 Tareto Maa (Tareto Maa kiva lending team http://www.kiva.org/team/tareto_maa is participating in the Global Open Challenge on http://www.globalgiving.org to earn a permanent place on the site to further fundraise. In order to do so Tareto Maa must raise $4000 for 50 unique donors (unique email and credit card).

Please spread the word using the FB share button on the right hand side of the following link Tareto Maa Globalgiving page and if the cause seems worth it a minimum donation of $10 will help them get to the $4000 goal.

I'm in also.  Does anyone know the date of the Bonus Day?  Usually, Global Giving announces the day ahead of time.  On Bonus Day, I plan to make a second donation.

Received a message from Ramona.  Global Giving Bonus Day is here; happening now!

Tareto Maa runs a shelter in Kenya to provide refuge and a place of safety for girls at risk of Female Genital Mutilation and early enforced marriage and they are currently taking part in a fund raising competition on GlobalGiving: www.globalgiving.org/projects/protect-70-girls-from-genital-mutilation-in-kenya

Today is Bonus Day on GlobalGiving. This means that all online donations up to $1,000 per (unique) individual donor will be matched at 15% until the total matching grant of $6,000 is used up.
In addition, Tareto Maa is currently the top project for having the most unique donors. And if they keep this till the end of the challenge (31 Dec) they will win an extra bonus of $2,000 - enough to build an extra dormitory for the girls who have to share currently one bed with 4 girls.
