More than 3 billion people without sanitation live on less than $2.50 a day, and more than 880 million on less than $1 a day.San Diego, CA Social Entrepreneur Brian Kelly has just released a new project called “Empower It Forward”. The first campaign is now up on Indiegogo for everyone to see and become a part of.  This campaign is showcasing the Empower It Forward project in a unique way.  The backers are able to get an inside look at how this idea came to realization and become part of its future development.  Anyone who has a passion for giving is an ideal candidate to find out how it works.

To stimulate growth and reach potential givers, Kelly has chosen crowdfunding as a platform to get the word out.  The crowdfunding process will allow Kelly and his team to receive people’s reactions and help encourage societal engagement.  Crowdfunding is a fantastic and relatively new way of gaining global exposure quickly. Kelly is convinced that sufficient global reach will be the key to the success of his project. The goal of this campaign is to reach people who share the vision of getting actively involved in ending human suffering. People who are inspired to share and exchange ideas while creating a community of like-minded individuals who are interested in collaborating on empowering people towards self-sufficiency on a global scale.

Kelly’s premise is that we all have to buy things, so why not start shopping with a purpose?  When you purchase items through Kelly’s campaigns and projects, over 34% of your spending helps support  the world’s most worthy causes, in full transparency. Poverty eradication, sustainability, innovation and education, representing the four key areas of focus. His approach is simple and yet it could be a powerful, tangible answer to various problems that are taking lives daily.  His team did an excellent job at creating perks that resonate strongly with their respective funders. In this campaign the backer can purchase a t-shirt or Moroccan oil and a portion of the contribution goes directly toward helping someone in need.

Mpowered Life founder Kelly says, “We’re confident that these efforts will bring to people something they didn’t even know was missing.  The engagement process synergistically fulfills the synergistic desire to be a part of the change that comes naturally when starting a new year. We hope to continue on with many more empowering campaigns through 2015. It will help many  people to be more than they ever imagined.”For anyone who aspires to help those who are very limited in helping themselves, and feels called to contribute towards the elimination of wide scale suffering, this is the project worth serious consideration.

“We’re really excited to be launching our campaign”, says Kelly. “With simple features and an intuitive platform, this is something anyone can use to jumpstart their personal initiatives to give back, and once they do, they will experience just how rewarding giving back can really be.” Take a comprehensive look at what this groundbreaking project is all about.
