Play games for social change

A new way that nonprofits are providing education and outreach (and making some money) is through online games. Commonly, advertisers will pay to be placed on websites that they know that web users will frequent, and these pages are no exception. To see examples, (or to waste some time without a huge deal of guilt), a listing of 50 games for social change has a nice sampling.

Other nice social change games include Free Poverty, (learn world geography to earn donations of water to third world countries), and Free Rice, where you can strengthen your vocabulary, math, art, or foreign language knowledge and earn rice donations to countries in poverty.
