The CSJ Awards recognise and reward effective poverty fighting groups from across the UK. Now in its fifth year, the CSJ Awards have brought over 64 winning voluntary groups to the attention of the national media and policy makers and given total prizes of £153,250 to date.

The winning project -- Noon Meal Improves Girls' Learning in Burkina Faso -- is a shining example of a project that marketed its work successfully to the GlobalGiving community. In December, the project attracted many donations from returned Peace Corps Volunteers. To date, the Noon Meals has generated $31,982 from 342 donors. With the eBay Bounty Prize, the project will receive an additional $5,000, putting the project less than $5,000 away from its goal.
