We’ve asked some readers to share their stories with wikiHow on the charity partnership page, and have been getting some great feedback. Many of them shine a light on how wikiHow helps people all over the world. Here are a few I’d like to pass along:

  • “My NGO, Friends Of The Children Ghana had a party with two orphanage homes this new year, and when I was taken pictures with them, I smelled a funny odour from most of them which I thought was as a result of they not using proper deodorant. I said to myself, I will raise some money and provide them with deodorant on my next visit, but when I did my calculations, it will cost me alot, so I checked on Wikihow, how to produce natural homemade deodorants, and lol and behold, I learnt alot about it and I am in the process of doing samples, and submitting it for a standard approval, them I can supply it to the Orphanage homes and also for the market raise money to do more charity projects. I love Wikihow!”

  • “I now know that I need to be confident and have a positive attitude toward myself and everyone else This article gave most of the information I had been looking for, but could not find on other sites. I was feeling lost and not really sure what I really want to be or do. I now have a starting ground and I feel encouraged to take my first step.”

  • “I finally kept myself sane while my siblings constantly bugged me. Thanks, it helped with my anger issues”

  • “<style type=“text/css”><!–td {border: 1px solid #ccc ;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}–></style>Wikihow has helped me in so many ways. I had a limited view on how to study and stop procrastination. Wikihow gave some effective tips that I still follow and helped in my academics. Thanks wikihow”

  • “<style type=“text/css”><!–td {border: 1px solid #ccc ;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}–></style>I am interested in learning how to meditate. I am a beginning meditation student. Your article was very helpful in terms of exactly what meditation is and how it calms the body and mind. Thank you so much for this very detailed description on how to meditate and it’s many benefits in living a more positive and mindful life. It looks to me like many people could benefit from this article. Thank you”

Here’s another great one that we received yesterday. This is a fantastic testimonial to the good our collaborative efforts do:

  • "I work with adults with intellectual disabilities. I often refer them to Wikihow to use as a resource for learning new skills, whether its learning how to make a friend, or learning how to find a job, it’s all here on the website. Thank you so much for being a great resource and providing ongoing learning for people! "
