Here is an interesting website that raises money for microfinancing.  By clicking on the "Click to Donate" field, the sponsors donate money to the site.  That money goes to a loan pool for microcredit banks.

This is another way that we can help.

The www2 link is a sign that this dude is getting a commission on his refrences to poverty fighters! If you want to help his cause, please do so, but also know that it's a site that pays commissions!

"www2" or "www3" or "wwwX" in front of a domain name like povertyfighters.org is just designating another route for the http request within this domain.  This could be used for load balancing, or for different roles or uses that the domain owner has designated.

In other words, the "www2" in front of povertyfighters.org doesn't necessarily have any different meaning than, let's say, some hypothetical prefixes like "vistors.povertyfighters.org" or "volunteers.povertyfighters.org" would have -- it's all in what the domain owners have decided to do with that domain prefix.

"www2" is definitely not a universal indicator of anything.  It could and no doubt does mean different things on different sites.
