ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Action Without Borders

Have you ever wanted to help someone who lives far away from you, but you didn't know how to do it? Action Without Borders is like a group of grown-ups who help connect people who want to do good things with people who need help all over the world.

Imagine if your friend from school was really sick and needed a toy to make her feel better. Then imagine if someone who lived far away also knew how to get that toy to your friend. That's kind of like what Action Without Borders does. They help people all over the world connect so that everyone can help each other.

They use a special computer website called Idealist.org to help people find ways to help others. People can go on the website and look for different places they can volunteer, donate money or stuff, or offer their skills to help others. It's like a big map for doing good things all over the world!

So, Action Without Borders helps people from different countries and backgrounds come together to help each other out. It's kind of like a virtual hug across the world!
