When G4G launched our Match 4 Good campaign on December 1st our goal was to raise $20,000 by the end of the year to help fund our Tailor-in-Training Workshop, a program that teaches Malawian tailors how to create new school uniforms for orphans and vulnerable children in their communities. Just $1 is enough to fund 1 new uniform to help keep a child in school. Merck hopped on board and generously matched all donations up to $10,000, meaning that your donations towards Match 4 Good had twice the impact.

Now here it is December 31st, and we are very excited to announce that with your help, Match 4 Good raised over $30,000 surpassing our goal by $10,000!

Thank you to everyone who helped support this initiative. Whether you donated your money, time or talents, or helped spread the word about this cause, your generosity will ensure the continuance of important programs like this one.

We wish everyone a wonderful New Year and hope that 2010 will be filled with more successes like this one.

Goods for Good matches excess goods from the United States with the needs of orphans and vulnerable children in the developing world.
