Uncluttah

by Matt on July 26, 2009

We’ve always strived towards liv­ing a sim­ple life free of clut­ter, unfor­tu­nately we’ve always had to fight our nat­ural urges to be pack rats. We keep every­thing, even pretty card­board boxes.

A few months ago, we decided to unclut­ter our lives. From that deci­sion I cre­ated Unclut­tah. Unclut­tah is a web­site about clean­ing out our clos­ets and help­ing fight poverty.

As we clean out our condo, we’re sell­ing the things that we don’t need any­more. From those sales we’re using 50% of the pro­ceeds to help fund loans on Kiva.com to fight poverty around the world. The other 50% goes to pay for host­ing costs, Pay­pal fees, eBay fees and our emer­gency fund.

So far, we have gen­er­ated about $350 that is lent out to those in need.
