HelpTheWorld-NOW

Concept

Published by Europe’s leading donation website HelpDirect.org, HelpTheWorld-NOW is a  magazine that offers the myriad groups and initiatives that are dedicated to getting citizens involved in various causes and that promote charities and corporate social responsibility (CSR) - a neutral and international platform for communication and sharing information.

The responsibility-news-magazine HelpTheWorld-NOW aims to serve as a neutral information resource for this growing sector, helping readers keep track of the countless campaigns and initiatives and facilitating the pooling of resources. In light of the increasing importance of corporate social responsibility, HelpTheWorld-NOW is a vital news medium that reports on important national and global initiatives, charity activities, and international aid projects; presents new developments and current problems; and introduces companies that are following the new sustainability trend and getting involved in projects in many different areas.

Published in cooperation with the major independent European donation portal, www.helpdirect.org, the magazine itself represents an initiative whose aim is to generate donations to charitable causes. It pursues this goal through partnerships with other organisations, with revenues from sales of the magazine, and by publishing appeals for donations for specific projects in coordination with the DZI, Germany’s Central Institute for Social Issues. The magazine provides concrete examples of projects devoted to furthering better education and health care and to alleviating poverty and the suffering caused by war, along with detailed information and contact addresses for the various organisations involved and the online portal www.helpdirect.org. This enables readers to help and support the causes they feel strongly about straight away. In the "Social Responsibility" section, readers can learn about what companies and businesses are doing to help today and the impact they have already had.

The magazine is distributed in the practices of general and alternative practitioners, pharmacies and health-food shops, as well as via mail order, sales and subscriptions. The magazine is also available online as an e-journal at www.helptheworld-now.com.
