Find out exactly how often you use your mobile. The only cost is a little charity.

AppAid is a new way to help. You download an Android-app that links your mobile behaviour to good deeds. Every time you unlock your phone a small sum is reserved for SOS Children’s Villages. In the app, you get statistics about how often you actually use your phone and when you use it the most. From time to time, you’ll be reminded about how much money you’ve collected and can donate the sum with a simple sms. 

The app is in Swedish and only works with a Swedish mobile subscription.

A toy store comes to life in this interactive window display that lets you donate a toy using your mobile phone.

eBay and Toys for Tots team up this holiday to launch The GIVE-A-TOY Store. The interactive storefront launched in New York (at 35th and Broadway) and San Francisco (at 117 Post St.) and invites passers-by to window shop for good. Not in SF or NY? No problem. You can donate some joy at ebay.com/giveatoystore.com

The challenge: UNICEF wants to increase donations to help children. The intention: even the smallest donation helps.

The solution: A common habit with a common problem: We all lend little amounts of money and we hardly get it back. We dont want to ask for it and we don´t need the money to survive. But a lot of children do.

So we developed a easy way for donating: the UNICEF „Repay for good” app. Choose your friend who owes you money, set the amount and choose one of the UNICEF projects you want your friend to donate for. Your friend receives an message/email with a notification. On a microsite, your friend can directly donate the amount via paypal.

The results: Many tiny donations, for a big task: helping children to survive.

A young homeless person lives on your iPhone for three days. Take care of him, or his life could spiral out of control. You’ll need to be there for him, day and night, providing food, money, warmth and support.

He’ll alert you when he gets into trouble or needs your help, and the speed of your response could be the difference between him making it through in one piece, or becoming addicted to drugs.
