Hello, this is @imbigdee reporting live for Girls Foundation contest on: A review of adollaraday project and its impact on the Steem Blockchain.

**Introduction**
Charity has always hold a big part of my heart, it is an act of selfless giving. I learnt about the act of giving from my mother, she always tell me:
>Givers never lack.

I visited an Orphanage two years on my birthday and since then I have been a part of the home. I believe it is my little way of giving back to the community. This is why I was amazed when I stumbled on @girlsfoundation blog on Steemit. The foundation headed by @faetee have been doing excellently well to spread love to the needy and less-privileged, a special gratitude to the team. Through their blog, I stumbled on @adollaraday account and saw the way they have supported the foundation and many other projects across the world.

A Dollar A Day was founded by @pennsif to support charitable giving projects. This support have been extended to 15 different projects from 9 different countries (Bangladesh, Cameroon, Nigeria, Philippines, South Africa, Spain, Venezuela and others).

**A review of @adollaraday Project**

After six weeks of running, A Dollar A Day was registered on Steemit as @adollaraday by @cryptocurator, who delegated the first SP to the account; 100SP. The founder of the project, @pennsif, also delegated 5000SP to the account with the aim of upvoting projects they support.


The Steemit community have supported the project by donating SBD and delegating SP to the account, this has been well-received, well-documented and well-accounted for as evident on their blog. Thanks to @hungryhustle for the beautiful logo.

**June 2018**


Earlier in June, they supported 9 different projects around the world with a total of 240SBD (US$ 375). The projects are:

* @schoolforsdg4 and @womenempowerment – Bangladesh.

Later in the month, @pennsif discovered another interesting project from Nigeria; @girlsfoundation – he was impressed with the work @faetee and her team have been doing and @adollarday supported by donating 15SBD to the foundation. This means by the end of June, @adollaraday have donated 300 SBD(US$ 451) to 10 different projects as listed above.

**July 2018**

The dip continued till July but the act of giving never stopped. The project donated 432 SBD (US$513.21) to the various projects they supported from around the world – 11 different projects in 8 different countries benefitted from the donations. The project received worthy donations from 22 generous Steemians in this month. @pennsif gave a special shout-out to @lynsdaybowes for Walk With Me fundraising post that brought in SBD for the project.

**August 2018**

It was an August to remember for the project, there was an increase in donations to the delight of everyone. A total of 507 SBD (US$ 519.22) was donated to the projects supported by @adollaraday. It was a 17% increase in SBD over July. There was an increase in the projects from 11 in July to 15 different projects in 9 different countries. That was massive and amazing.
