The South Bay Awesome Foundation announces it's latest recipient Kutoa!

The Kutoa Classroom platform is about creating a Generation of Givers!

The mission educates students about humanitarian issues and empowers them through curriculum. Kutoa provides free curriculum that allows them to talk about sensitive issues in age appropriate ways and gives them a vote that ultimately funds a project that helps those in need. A different humanitarian need is presented every 3 months. Kutoa has classrooms in 4 countries! Click below to hear gratitude from the founder Josh Brake.

People everywhere helping people everywhere because people everywhere matter. Through the micro-donation of $1/month, Kutoa is organizing the masses to pool this small amount combat humanitarian crises all around the globe. Check it out and join now! Kutoa is bringing philanthropy to the masses.
