The April 2015 social good ideas are not only indicative of a continued commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR), but to ways everyday people are being socially conscious.
The environment is a cause that still appeals to a broad variety of people. From faith-based social media movements making a difference in real life by fundraising for clean water projects to dew-harvesting greenhouses that provide alternative agricultural income for Ethiopian families, April 2015 social good ideas also reflect Earth Day coming up on the 22nd.
Girls rights and gender equality are another focus. Especially when combined with education, many initiatives are hoping to make a lasting impact by investing in females. These programs are tech-specific, offering women skills in coding and science. This provides extra value to today's job market and current economy.
