Making History 101

Making History 101 (MH101) is a humanitarian effort to improve conditions associated with poverty on a local and global level.

MH101 is made up of volunteers determined to shape history by improving the conditions around us.

We are using the precedent set by the United Nations in the Millennium Development Goals as a guideline.

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were created to address issues associated with extreme poverty around the world: hunger, disease, inadequate shelter, gender inequality, insufficient education, and lack of environmental sustainability.

With this in mind we plan to develop events and programs that address these issues and demonstrate specific ways that individuals everywhere can help.

We believe that everyone can contribute to making history by helping those in need.

MH101 calls on individuals everywhere to act on making a difference.

Poverty affects us all and it will take all of us working together to end it.

Every day, each of us has the ability to impact people's lives, whether it be by donating money to a charity, organizing a canned food drive, or volunteering at your local area food bank.

Your contribution could mean that one less person goes to bed hungry and a community has access to clean water.

There are many ways that you can make a difference and it is up to you to do it.

"There can be no keener revelation of society's soul than the way in which it treats its children."
